Temp to dip again in MP after 2 days:Clouds over Bhopal, Indore and Ujjain as temperatures fluctuate; severe cold spell is expected in December

Madhya Pradesh is expected to witness a fresh surge in cold conditions after the next two days. Cloud cover over Bhopal, Indore and Ujjain has temporarily pushed temperatures upward, but meteorologists say the respite will be short-lived. Clouds but no rain expected According to weather scientist Arun Sharma, despite widespread cloudiness, there is no likelihood of rainfall.
The IMD reports that although snowfall continues in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu–Kashmir, northern cold winds are not entering MP due to a change in wind pattern.
A low-pressure area active over the Bay of Bengal is also contributing to light cloud cover, causing cooler daytime conditions and a rise of 5–6°C in night temperatures.
