Meteorologists warn that snowfall in Kashmir will usher a cold front, lowering temperatures across Madhya Pradesh over the next few days.
A fresh cold front is set to move southward from the Himalayas after recent snowfall in Kashmir, bringing a noticeable dip in temperatures across Madhya Pradesh. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an advisory indicating that the chill will begin affecting the state within 24 to 48 hours.
Temperatures in major districts such as Bhopal, Indore and Gwalior are expected to fall to the low teens Celsius during the night, with daytime highs struggling to rise above 20°C. In higher‑altitude areas of the state, night‑time lows could approach 5°C, a marked contrast to the mild winter conditions experienced earlier this month.
Authorities have urged residents to take precautionary measures, including wearing warm clothing, limiting outdoor exposure during early mornings and evenings, and ensuring that heating appliances are used safely. Schools and offices in the most affected districts may consider adjusting timings to reduce exposure to the cold.
The IMD will continue to monitor the situation and update forecasts as the cold wave progresses, advising the public to stay informed through official channels.
