Madhya Pradesh observed its first sub‑10°C reading of the season, signalling an early onset of winter across central India.
Madhya Pradesh registered a temperature dip below 10°C for the first time this season, according to the state’s meteorological department. The reading was recorded at several weather stations across the state, marking an early shift towards colder conditions.
The drop follows a pattern of cooling across northern India, with dense fog enveloping ten cities in Uttar Pradesh. While the fog has reduced visibility on highways, officials have issued standard advisories for commuters.
Meteorologists also noted a likelihood of rainfall in Rajasthan later this week, as a western disturbance moves eastward. The combined weather systems suggest a broader cold wave affecting the central and northern belt.
Authorities in Madhya Pradesh have urged residents to take precautionary measures, especially in rural areas where night-time temperatures can fall sharply. Power utilities are on standby to address any surge in heating‑related electricity demand.
The early cold snap is expected to persist for the next few days, with temperatures gradually rising as the week progresses.
