A cold front moving from the Himalayan foothills has begun to affect the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, bringing unusually low temperatures across a wide area. Meteorological observations show that the chill is most pronounced in the state's hill regions, where recent snowfall has contributed to the drop.
In the capital Bhopal, the mercury fell to 12.2°C, while nearby Indore recorded an even lower 11.1°C. These figures are below the typical minimum of 12.6°C observed at the popular hill station Pachmarhi, indicating a sharper than usual dip.
Overall, twenty cities across Madhya Pradesh reported minimum temperatures under 15°C, a threshold that marks the onset of a cold wave for the region. Local authorities have advised residents to wear warm clothing, limit outdoor exposure during early mornings and evenings, and take precautions for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children.
