In Bhopal, a 10-year cold record has been broken. Experts say that sub-zero conditions have already been felt in some areas. Why January is important for cold weather According to the Meteorological Department, just like July–August are crucial for monsoon rain, December and January are the most important months for winter cold.
During this time, cold winds from North India are strongest, causing a sharp drop in temperature.
When western disturbances become active, winter rain (mawatha) also occurs. Last year, many districts received rain, and clouds were seen even at the start of this year.
