Madhya Pradesh is witnessing a noticeable shift in weather conditions as the direction of winds has changed under the influence of a low-pressure area and a cyclonic circulation. The IMD has reported that easterly winds are now dominating, causing minimum temperatures to rise and bringing relief from the ongoing cold-wave conditions. This pattern is expected to continue until 28 November, during which light to moderate fog may be seen in the early morning hours, along with cloud cover at some places. Night temperatures, however, will still carry a mild winter chill. Over the next 48 hours, minimum temperatures may increase by 1–2°C, and there is no forecast of rain anywhere in the state.
According to the latest weather bulletin, a well-marked low-pressure area lies over the Malacca Strait and adjoining South Andaman Sea, with an associated cyclonic circulation extending up to 7.6 km above sea level. This system is expected to move northwest and intensify into a depression over the southeast Bay of Bengal by 24 November. It may then further strengthen into a cyclonic storm within the next 48 hours. Another circulation persists over the southeast Arabian Sea.
While temperatures may rise for the next three to four days, the cold wave will remain absent. However, from December, winter is expected to intensify once again with a sharp drop in temperatures.
