Cold Wave in Chhattisgarh Slows as Western Disturbance Alters Wind Direction

The cold wave that has gripped Chhattisgarh for the past few days is showing signs of retreat as a western disturbance alters the prevailing wind direction. Meteorological reports indicate that the winds, which were once blowing from the west, have turned to a more northerly flow, reducing the intensity of the cold front. As a result, temperatures in several districts are expected to rise slightly, offering temporary relief to residents.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather alert, advising local authorities to monitor the situation closely. While the cold wave is not expected to dissipate entirely overnight, the change in wind direction is likely to slow its progress across the state.

Officials have urged people to stay updated with local weather bulletins and to take necessary precautions, especially in rural areas where cold-related health risks remain high.
