Darkness at Noon, Sudden Showers Hit Normal Life in Lucknow

Darkness at Noon, Sudden Showers Hit Normal Life in Lucknow

The Meteorological Department has attributed the change in weather to cyclonic circulations over eastern parts of Uttar Pradesh.

Lucknow: A sudden darkness descended on the city this afternoon and unexpected showers threw normal life out of gear and affected vehicular traffic.

People caught in the unusual weather conditions ran helter-skelter as sign boards and hoardings swayed precariously due to gusty winds.

Vehicular traffic in the main business area around bustling Hazratganj came to a halt due to traffic snarls caused by the sudden dust storm and rains.

Adding to the woes of the people, electricity supply went off and even street lights that were switched on at around 4 pm, too went out.

The sudden showers instantly brought down the temperature in the city and its neighbourhood after an unusually warm spell during this time of the year.

The Meteorological Department  has attributed the change in weather to cyclonic circulations over eastern parts of Uttar Pradesh and western disturbances in the hilly areas.
