Indore recorded a maximum of 35.7°C on the first day of October, breaking a ten‑year high, with night temperatures dropping about 18°C and no rain expected in the coming days.
Indore, Madhya Pradesh, experienced an unusually hot start to October when the mercury rose to 35.7°C on the first day, surpassing the highest temperature recorded in the city over the past decade. The scorching daytime heat was followed by a sharp drop at night, with temperatures falling roughly 18°C, creating a pronounced day‑night temperature swing.
Meteorological data shows that the 35.7°C reading eclipses the previous ten‑year peak, marking a new benchmark for early‑October weather in the region. Such a rapid temperature shift is rare for this time of year and underscores the intensity of the current heatwave.
The India Meteorological Department has issued a short‑term outlook indicating no rainfall in the coming days, which could allow the heat to persist or even intensify. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during peak sun hours, and take precautions against heat‑related health risks.
