Lucknow, Jan 17 (IANS) The weather is not likely to clear nor would the cold wave abate in the state, the weatherman predicted Saturday adding that the coming few days might be in fact harsher.
The Regional Met Office said that while the mercury would continue to dip, as has been the case over the week, moderate to heavy rains might occur in some parts of the state in the next few days.
Fog which had crippled the air, road and rail transport in the past few days, however receded in the state capital Saturday. The visibility also improved. Foggy conditions, however, continued in the eastern and western parts of the state.
Railway officials said more than two dozen trains including the Neelanchal Express, Shatabdi Express, Kota-Patna Express, Chandigarh and Shahid Express continued to run behind schedule and the situation was unlikely to improve unless the dense fog dissipated.
The weatherman also predicted more snowfall in the neighbouring hill state of Uttarakhand, which would add to the winter chill. State Met director J.P. Gupta said that north-westerly winds blowing from the snow-capped hills would intensify from Saturday.
