Bhopal, 13 November (Udaipur Kiran)। Western Disturbances and ongoing snowfall in the Himalayan region have shifted wind patterns towards the north, leading to a sharp drop in temperatures across Madhya Pradesh. Cold conditions have intensified, with a noticeable chill not only at night but also during daytime. For the first time in many years, several cities including Bhopal and Indore are experiencing continuous severe cold wave conditions for five consecutive days in the first half of November. According to meteorologists, this weather pattern is likely to continue for the next three to four days.
Anuppur and Balaghat have been experiencing cold day conditions for the past two days, and a similar alert has been issued for Thursday. The Meteorological Department has issued a cold wave alert for Indore, Rajgarh, Bhopal, Shajapur, Sehore, Niwari, Tikamgarh, Chhatarpur, Panna, Satna, Maihar, Umaria, and Seoni. Weather experts noted that Western Disturbances became active nearly a week earlier this year, causing snowfall in Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh. The north-to-south wind flow has brought a stronger cold effect across Madhya Pradesh. This is the first time in the early half of November that minimum temperatures have dropped so low, as cold wave conditions usually appear towards the end of the month. A change in wind direction due to a significant Western Disturbance may bring some rise in temperatures, but the cold spell is expected to persist for the next few days.
On Wednesday, severe cold wave conditions were reported in Bhopal, Indore, and Rajgarh, while cold wave impact was observed in Sehore, Shajapur, Rewa, and Shahdol districts. Rajgarh recorded the state’s lowest night temperature at 7°C, while Khandwa registered the highest daytime temperature at 30.5°C. Malajkhand witnessed cold-day conditions.
