After coming above the minimum temperature and getting rid of the fog, there is some relief from the cold for the time being. However, according to the Meteorological Department, the relief that people get from the cold will not last for long. Soon the harsh winter will again force people to chill. A drop of four to six degrees in temperature is possible during the next two-three days.
In view of the situation, a yellow alert has been issued in several districts including Azamgarh, Mau and Ballia from January 16 to 19. In the districts surrounding Purvanchal including Varanasi, there has been good sunshine during the day for the last three-four days. Even the westerly winds are not blowing.
