On Wednesday night, light rain in Bhind and Morena slightly increased cold. Similarly, Thursday morning, Morena and Datia had drizzle. Due to this, the temperature in these areas is dropping. The Meteorological Department predicts the temperature may continue to fall, bringing back a cold spell.

The Meteorological Department stated a new western disturbance will become active in North-West India on February 24, impacting Madhya Pradesh’s weather. Currently, the temperature is fluctuating due to cyclonic circulation over South Pakistan and Rajasthan. Because of this, western disturbances in North India are bringing drizzle to Madhya Pradesh.
Light rain fell in Bhind and Morena Wednesday night, followed by morning drizzle in Morena and Datia Thursday. Consequently, the temperature is falling. Experts predict a further drop of 2 to 3 degrees, making the weather colder in the coming days.
The weather impact varies across the state. Gwalior division is getting colder due to falling temperatures, while Indore and Ujjain still facing daytime heat. Bhopal and Indore are experiencing higher temperatures, making the weather feel warm.
As the weather changes, people should prepare for further drops in temperature and occasional rain. Stay updated with the latest weather reports and take precautions to stay comfortable in the fluctuating climate.
