Recent forecast guidance from the India Meteorological Department and multiple models indicates a high of 31–32°C in Lucknow today, driven by increased cloud cover, light showers, and reduced solar insolation following yesterday’s 35.4°C reading. These conditions align with typical post-monsoon October climatology for the region, where daytime maxima normally range 32–34°C but dip when moisture and easterly flow suppress heating. The market’s heavy weighting toward 31°C (58.5%) and 32°C (34.5%) reflects this consensus, while lower probabilities for 30°C or 33°C+ capture residual uncertainty in exact cloud timing and any late-day clearing. Updated model runs and official observations through the afternoon will determine final resolution.
