A sharp drop of 12.7°C made Tuesday night the coldest of the season in Indore, driven by strong northern winds.
Indore experienced an unusually cold night on Tuesday as the mercury fell by 12.7°C, marking the lowest temperature recorded for the season. Meteorological officials attributed the sudden dip to a surge of cold northern winds that swept across central India, pushing temperatures well below the typical winter range for the city.
The drop was felt across residential and commercial areas, with many residents reporting the need for additional heating measures and heavier clothing. Local power utilities warned of higher electricity demand as households turned on heaters and warmers to cope with the chill.
City officials reminded citizens to stay vigilant against health risks associated with sudden cold snaps, especially for the elderly and those with respiratory conditions. The weather department will continue to monitor the situation and issue advisories if further temperature fluctuations are expected.
Despite the cold spell, the city’s water supply remained under strict management due to ongoing scarcity concerns, with authorities urging water conservation even as residents dealt with the frosty night.
The unexpected cold front underscores the variability of winter weather in Madhya Pradesh, prompting both residents and authorities to adapt quickly to changing conditions.
