Night Temperature in Madhya Pradesh Cities (in °C) What is a western disturbance According to the Meteorological Department, a western disturbance is a system of winds and clouds that comes from the west. When it becomes active, it causes snowfall in hilly areas and rainfall in the plains. After the system passes, cold winds from the north prevail, leading to cold conditions during both day and night. Why January is special for cold According to the Meteorological Department, just as out of the four monsoon months (June, July, August and September), July and August are the most important and account for more than 60 percent of the rainfall, December and January are known for severe cold. During these two months, cold winds from north India reach the state more frequently, causing a significant drop in temperatures. Cold winds also blow during this period. Data from the past 10 years shows the same trend. Due to active western disturbances, winter rain is also received in January. Last year, rainfall was recorded in several districts. This year, clouds covered the sky on the very first day of the year, and rainy and cloudy conditions have returned again in the last week. Temperature in Bhopal has gone down to 0.6 degrees Bhopal experiences severe cold in January. At the same time, there is also a trend of warmth during the day and occasional rain. On January 18, 1935, the night temperature dropped to a record low of 0.6 degrees Celsius. On January 26, 2009, the daytime temperature touched 33 degrees. Rain has occurred in seven out of the last 10 years. The highest rainfall in 24 hours was two inches on January 6, 2004, while the highest monthly rainfall of 3.8 inches was recorded in January 1948.
