Aggressive long on Tmax for Lucknow. NWP models, particularly the ECMWF HRES 00z and GFS parallel 06z, are firmly signaling robust thermal advection under a strengthening high-pressure ridge. Consensus forecasts place Lucknow's Tmax on May 6 between 40-42°C. Surface heating will be maximized by clear skies and dry northwesterly flow, easily breaching the 39°C threshold. Sentiment: Local meteorologists are also noting the building heat dome. 98% YES — invalid if a significant western disturbance tracks south.
