VARANASI: The India Meteorological Department's bulletin issued on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, extends the eastern Uttar Pradesh dry-weather forecast to November 17 and includes isolated shallow morning fog through November 13. This advances the planning window beyond November 11, as reported earlier on dalimss.news in its previous dry-weather outlook.

Residents setting out early from Babatpur, the BHU area or the district's rural blocks should check local visibility before departure. The new forecast is regional: isolated fog is possible within eastern Uttar Pradesh, rather than a prediction that every Varanasi neighbourhood will experience it. The bulletin carries no weather warning for the eastern division across its seven forecast days.

For journeys on Thursday, November 12, and Friday, November 13, the useful distinction is between dry conditions and clear visibility. Both dates retain a shallow-fog forecast for isolated places during the morning. Allow flexibility for an early departure and check the latest official update before relying on this bulletin for a particular route or outdoor activity.

What the November 11 forecast says

The state forecast was issued at 1 pm IST. Its eastern Uttar Pradesh table describes dry weather as very likely on November 11, 12 and 13, with shallow morning fog at isolated places. November 14, 15, 16 and 17 are also listed as dry, without that additional morning-fog wording in their forecast rows.

Each dated forecast and warning period runs from 8:30 am IST on the stated date to 8:30 am IST the next morning. That means the November 12 period continues into the morning of November 13. Readers checking an overnight journey should use the validity period as well as the date printed in the table.

  • Issued: November 11, 2026, at 1 pm IST.
  • Area relevant to Varanasi: eastern Uttar Pradesh.
  • Morning-fog wording: November 11 through November 13, at isolated places.
  • Dry outlook: all seven forecast dates, through November 17.
  • Warning table: no warning for eastern Uttar Pradesh on those dates.

The absence of a warning and the mention of shallow fog appear in separate parts of the same bulletin. Residents should read both. The warning table does not remove the forecast's visibility qualification, while the fog wording does not amount to a dense-fog alert for the entire city.

What the observations show

The separate daily weather report, issued at noon IST on November 11, summarises observations up to 8:30 am. It records dry weather during the previous 24 hours in both eastern and western Uttar Pradesh. Shallow to moderate fog was observed at some places in both divisions during the morning.

The lowest visibility cited in that statewide summary was 200 metres at Bareilly. That measurement belongs to Bareilly and cannot be used as a reading for Babatpur or central Varanasi. The report establishes that morning visibility restrictions occurred in parts of the state, while the forecast sets out where similar conditions may occur subsequently.

For the minimum temperatures recorded on November 11, IMD placed Varanasi division in the above-normal category. The bulletin identifies that division as Varanasi, Chandauli, Ghazipur and Jaunpur. Its definition of above normal is a departure of 1.6 to 3 degrees Celsius from the normal temperature; this is a departure category, rather than the actual overnight temperature.

The same bulletin says maximum and minimum temperatures are unlikely to show a large change over the next seven days. Its terminology defines no large change as movement within minus 2 to plus 2 degrees Celsius over 24 hours. For residents, the forecast therefore offers a broadly steady temperature outlook alongside the more immediate morning-visibility qualification.

In its account of the weather systems, IMD records an upper-air cyclonic circulation over eastern Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring areas extending to 3.1 kilometres above mean sea level. A trough runs from that circulation towards the northwestern Bay of Bengal across Jharkhand, Gangetic West Bengal and Odisha at the same height. These are the atmospheric features accompanying the forecast; the rainfall table still keeps eastern Uttar Pradesh dry.

What residents should do

Use the IMD Lucknow public weather page to check the next state bulletin, city forecast and any district warning before an early trip. Treat a regional forecast as planning information and check conditions at the departure point. The documents reviewed here do not establish a flight delay, train cancellation or road closure on November 12.

The distinction matters after the earlier Babatpur departure delays: those were a separate dated transport event. The site's earlier November 9 air-quality report also concerns a different measurement. Fog forecasts and air-quality indices should be checked separately when deciding when to travel or spend time outdoors.
