Temperatures Drop 2°C Below Normal; 16 Cities Witness A Dip Below 15°C

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The temperatures in Madhya Pradesh have dropped by 2°C – 4°C below normal. Big cities like  Bhopal, Jabalpur and Gwalior-Chambal region are expected to feel the brunt of cold waves in the coming days.

According to the weather department, the cold wave is expected to persist across the state until November 20. While Pachmarhi and Amarkantak will remain the coldest locations, cities like Bhopal, Indore, and Jabalpur will also experience a significant drop in temperatures. This is because of the weakened northeast winds and the influence of jet streams, which are also affecting the northern parts of the state.
