Air is the main story: a typical Lucknow area averages 77 µg/m³ of PM2.5 a year, and Nov–Jan pushes that to 145 µg/m³ — above India's daily limit of 60. Where you live matters: Dona (64 µg/m³) and Atari (82 µg/m³) are 18 µg/m³ apart.

Heat is a real factor, with around 156 hot or muggy days a year in a typical area and a hottest typical day near 46°C. The monsoon brings about 931 mm of rain. Only 2 of 37 areas fall inside the modelled river/coastal flood zone. Green cover within a short walk is about a tenth of the land in a typical area (17%).
