A three‑day spell of storm Murasu will affect 23 districts of Madhya Pradesh with wind and rain alerts, while forecasts predict clear skies on Dhanteras (Nov 6) and a drop in temperature from the second week of November.
The India Meteorological Department has issued a three‑day alert for storm Murasu, which is expected to bring gusty winds and scattered showers across 23 districts of Madhya Pradesh. Residents in the affected areas have been advised to secure loose objects and avoid non‑essential travel during the period of heightened activity.
Despite the widespread alerts, weather models show a brief window of clear skies on Dhanteras, 6 November, when many shoppers plan to purchase festive items. Authorities expect the rain to subside by early evening, allowing markets and streets to operate normally.
Meteorologists also warned that temperatures will begin to fall from the second week of November, marking the onset of the winter season in the central state. The cooling trend is likely to be gradual, but officials recommend that people keep warm clothing handy as night‑time lows drop.
Local administrations have readied emergency response teams and have urged citizens to stay updated through official channels. The combined impact of the storm and the upcoming cold spell underscores the need for preparedness ahead of the festive period.
