Official forecasts from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) have consistently projected a minimum temperature near 22–23°C for Lucknow on October 9, 2026, under clear to partly cloudy skies with light easterly winds and no significant cooling from rainfall or cold-air advection. This aligns with post-monsoon climatology, where October minima typically range 19–24°C, and recent observations from Lucknow stations show overnight lows holding at or above 22°C amid elevated humidity and stable atmospheric conditions. The near-certain market positioning on 23°C reflects this model consensus and real-time station data, though resolution could shift slightly if final verified readings from the primary IMD site fall to 22°C or if microscale variations occur at different urban locations.
