Recent IMD observations and ensemble forecasts indicate active southwest monsoon conditions over Uttar Pradesh, with scattered showers and thunderstorms expected through July 29 that limit daytime heating and cap maximum temperatures near 33–35 °C. Persistent cloud cover, high humidity above 80 %, and light easterly winds reduce surface insolation and enhance evaporative cooling, keeping the most likely daily maxima clustered in this narrow band. Minor differences among 33–36 °C outcomes hinge on the timing and intensity of convective cells, which official guidance shows can shift peak readings by 1–2 °C. Updated IMD and global model runs over the next 48 hours will refine rainfall timing and therefore resolve the tight market spread before the July 29 observation window closes.
