MP December 14 Weather Updates: Expect Cold Waves In Jabalpur, Seoni & 16 Other Districts; Chilly Winds To Freeze Neemuch, Dhar 

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The central state Madhya Pradesh has been freezing both day and night in the second week of December. The phase of ‘cold days’ and ‘cold waves’ is expected to prevail for the next three days in the state. However, weathermen forecast some relief after December 16.

Weather expected on Saturday

On Saturday, cold wave conditions are predicted in 18 districts, including Jabalpur and Seoni. 

Regions such as Neemuch, Mandsaur, Dhar, Shajapur, Rajgarh, Sagar, Seoni, Jabalpur, Katni, Shahdol, Chhatarpur, Panna, Tikamgarh, and Niwari will experience chilly winds. 

Additionally, districts like Sehore, Raisen, and Vidisha will face both cold winds and cold day conditions. Narsinghpur is also expected to remain under cold day conditions.

What do meteorologists say?

According to IMD Bhopal’s senior meteorologist Dr. Divya E. Surendran, the ongoing snowfall in North India has brought icy winds to Madhya Pradesh, causing temperatures to plummet across the state.

The subtropical jet stream in northern and western India is now flowing at a speed of 296 km/h at an altitude of 12.6 km, up from 278 km/h earlier. As this wind descends to lower altitudes, the cold is expected to intensify further. A western disturbance active in northern India has also contributed to the chill by melting snow, which cools the air further.

Temperature Records

The state experienced another freezing night on Wednesday and Thursday, with Shajapur’s Girwar being the coldest at 3.7°C. Pachmarhi followed closely at 3.8°C. Kalyanpur in Shahdol recorded 4°C.

The temperatures dropped significantly in the major cities with Bhopal recording 7.8°C; Indore 9.6°; Gwalior 7°C; Ujjain 9.5°C; and Jabalpur 6.1°C.

Raisen, Rajgarh, and Umaria saw temperatures below 5°C, while Khajuraho, Rewa, Tikamgarh, Mandla, Satna, and Sagar recorded temperatures below 7°C. Friday is also expected to bring chilly conditions across many parts of the state during the day.

The people of Madhya Pradesh are advised to take precautions against the cold wave and stay warm as the state endures this prolonged winter spell.
