Madhya Pradesh to Witness Intense Heat Over Next 5 Days, Temperature May Rise by 5°C

Bhopal, April 4, 2025 – After days of unseasonal rain, thunderstorms, and hailstorms across several regions, Madhya Pradesh is now bracing for a heatwave. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a significant temperature spike of 2 to 5 degrees Celsius is expected over the next five days across major divisions including Bhopal, Indore, Ujjain, Gwalior, Jabalpur, Rewa, Chambal, and Sagar.

Western Disturbance Weakening, Heat to Rise

The recent weather turbulence, including hail, lightning, and heavy wind, was attributed to the impact of a western disturbance and an active cyclonic circulation. However, meteorologists confirm that the system is weakening from Friday, leading to clear skies and no rainfall alerts for the day.

Cities such as Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, and Ujjain will begin to experience sharp temperature surges, pushing daytime highs into the upper 30s and early 40s (°C) by the weekend.

IMD Forecast: Next System May Arrive April 8

Meteorological experts also warn that another western disturbance is likely to become active from April 8, which could bring rain showers and temperature drops across the state once again. For now, however, residents are advised to prepare for hot and dry conditions.
