The India Meteorological Department’s current forecast for Lucknow projects a daily maximum of 40–41°C on May 17 under typical pre-monsoon conditions across the Indo-Gangetic Plain, with clear skies and light westerly winds limiting further warming. This aligns with climatological May averages of 38–42°C while reflecting recent observational trends showing no significant heat-wave intensification. Trader consensus heavily favors the 41°C-or-below outcome because official model runs and surface observations indicate the threshold will hold, though small revisions in afternoon heating or local wind shifts could still push readings to 42°C. Resolution hinges on the final IMD-verified high, with updated guidance expected later today.
