Melting snow to trigger cold winds in MP:Temp to rise 3–4°C for 2 days, chill likely to return; Gwalior-Chambal region expected to feel maximum impact

Madhya Pradesh will not witness severe cold over the next two days, with temperatures expected to rise by 3 to 4 degrees Celsius. However, meteorologists say that once a cyclonic circulation system passes and snow begins to melt in the northern hills, cold winds will return to the state, increasing the chill once again. According to weather scientist H.S. Pandey, February will see frequent fluctuations in weather conditions. At present, there are no chances of rainfall in the state. Cyclonic circulation active over Rajasthan The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has reported an active cyclonic circulation over southwest Rajasthan. Meanwhile, snowfall and rain are forecast in the hill regions. Due to this system, temperatures in Madhya Pradesh are expected to increase over the next two days. On Monday, cities including Bhopal, Indore and Ujjain witnessed bright sunshine during the day, pushing up maximum temperatures. However, the cold effect continues during the night and early morning hours, even though the mercury is gradually rising. Fresh drop in temperature expected from February 13 Meteorologist Pandey stated that after the system moves away and snow melts in the hills, the weather will change again. Between February 13 and 15, temperatures are likely to fall, and the impact of cold weather will intensify due to cold northern winds. 13 cities record night temperatures below 10°C During Sunday–Monday night, 13 cities in the state recorded minimum temperatures below 10°C. Karaundi in Katni district was the coldest place, with a minimum temperature of 5.9°C.
