Several cities across Uttar Pradesh, including the state capital, are witnessing a drop in daytime temperatures due to overcast skies and moderate to dense fog, which has developed from moisture carried by the Arabian Sea. The state's weather has remained dry, with some areas experiencing cold conditions during the day, while isolated spots are facing very cold temperatures.

The Jharkhand government has declared that schools for students from kindergarten to Class 8 will be closed from January 7 to 13 due to the ongoing cold wave in the state. A notification released by the School Education and Literacy Department on Saturday evening stated that the closure applies to all schools, including government, aided, minority, and private institutions, in response to the current cold wave conditions.
