Recent official forecasts from the India Meteorological Department and other agencies indicate a sharp temperature drop for Lucknow on September 25 driven by widespread cloud cover, thunderstorms, and gusty winds associated with an active weather system over Uttar Pradesh. This setup, occurring during the late monsoon transition, is expected to limit daytime heating and produce maximum temperatures near 25–27°C, aligning with the market’s tight clustering around 25°C, 24°C, and 29°C-or-higher outcomes. High humidity and rainfall further suppress peaks relative to the historical late-September average of roughly 33°C. Traders appear to weigh the strength and timing of this precipitation against any potential clearing that could allow brief warming, with upcoming IMD updates and model consensus likely to refine resolution probabilities.
