Fog conditions across Madhya Pradesh have eased compared to previous days, though cold weather continues to grip the state. Light fog appeared Thursday morning in the Gwalior-Chambal and Malwa-Nimar regions, clearing as the day progressed.
The meteorological department recorded light fog in Bhopal, Gwalior, Ujjain, Sheopur, Morena, Bhind, Datia and Shivpuri.

Western Disturbance Behind Weather Pattern
Weather officials attribute the current conditions to active western disturbances and cyclonic circulation systems affecting North India. Cold winds from snow-covered Himalayan regions continue reaching the plains, maintaining chilly temperatures and creating fog conditions.
A new western disturbance will activate over the western Himalayan region from February 8, affecting Madhya Pradesh weather. Officials predict possible precipitation in some areas starting February 10.
