People across Uttar Pradesh are getting no immediate break from the heat. After we flagged the intense sunshine for Wednesday, Thursday, June 18, looks set to follow the same pattern. Skies will stay clear across most of the state, the sun will blaze down, and severe heat along with heatwave conditions will persist. Maximum temperatures in most districts are running at or above normal.

## What to Expect on June 18
On the IMD map for June 18, Uttar Pradesh carries neither a yellow nor a red alert. That makes one thing clear: the sun will torment residents across the state and the weather will remain completely dry. The silver lining, however, is that conditions are set to change the very next day.

## 29 Districts to See a Shift the Next Day
The good news is that on the day after June 18, thunderstorms, rain and squalls are likely across a total of 29 districts, including Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Basti, Etah, Bulandshahr, Bareilly, Budaun and Farrukhabad. The weather department has issued a yellow alert for these very cities. The IMD has also issued a yellow alert for some districts on June 19.

## These Areas Will Keep Suffering the Heat
Meanwhile, a large swathe of the state will stay in the grip of fierce heat. Mathura, Hathras, Agra, Firozabad, Etah, Kasganj, Mainpuri, Kannauj, Etawah, Kanpur Dehat, Jalaun, Kanpur Nagar, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Jhansi, Lalitpur, Fatehpur, Banda, Chitrakoot, Kaushambi, Prayagraj, Sant Ravidas Nagar, Varanasi, Chandauli, Mirzapur, Sonbhadra and surrounding areas may all have to endure the heat. A heatwave is likely to sweep these locations.

## What the Expert Says
According to Atul Kumar Singh, senior scientist at the Regional Meteorological Centre, the weather remains dry across most districts of Uttar Pradesh. That is precisely why the skies are clear, the sun is shining strongly and the severe heat continues unabated.

## When Will the Monsoon Arrive
There is a fresh update for those waiting on the monsoon. The weather department says most parts of the state will stay dry today. According to available information, the monsoon could enter Uttar Pradesh through Sonbhadra district around June 22-23. However, the El Nino effect is expected to keep the monsoon weak this time.

## School Holidays Extended Till June 24
The weather is changing nationwide and people are awaiting the monsoon. Amid this, given the severe heat and heatwave, the Uttar Pradesh government has extended summer vacation in the state's government schools until June 24. Schools will now reopen from June 25, while teachers will report to their institutions from June 22 to complete academic preparations. The state government has directed that uniform holidays be implemented across all districts, so that 220 teaching days can be ensured in the academic session and children get a better learning environment.
