Active monsoon conditions across Uttar Pradesh, including persistent cloud cover, high humidity near 85-90%, and scattered thunderstorms with rain chances exceeding 70% through the afternoon and evening of August 21, 2026, are limiting nocturnal radiative cooling and supporting minimum temperatures in the 26-28°C range. Official forecasts from sources aligned with IMD guidance indicate overnight lows near 27°C following daytime highs of 32-34°C, consistent with recent days where minima have held at or above 25°C amid above-average moisture. This setup favors the market-implied leading outcomes near 28°C and 27°C, while suppressing chances for deeper cooling below 24°C that would require clearer skies and drier air. Updated model runs and evening observations will refine the final recorded low.
