MP November 4 Weather Update: IMD Predicts Sharper Drop In Temperatures From November 15

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): November in Madhya Pradesh often sees alternating cool and warm weather, along with occasional rainfall. However, this year, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts lower rainfall activity. Due to reduced cyclonic circulation from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, the likelihood of rain is minimal, with only sporadic cloudiness or drizzle expected in isolated areas. Madhya Pradesh’s average rainfall for November is around half an inch.

In the state, night temperatures have dropped significantly, especially in hill stations like Pachmarhi, which has recorded the lowest temperatures. As of last Saturday night, the temperature in Pachmarhi was 12.8°C, following previous nights with temperatures below 15°C. The Gwalior-Chambal region is also experiencing a marked increase in night-time coolness.

IMD Bhopal predicts a sharper drop in temperatures starting from 15 November, with cold northern winds contributing to this trend. Daytime warmth will persist in the early half of November, but temperatures are expected to fall below 30°C thereafter.

Following the departure of the southwest monsoon, the skies generally remain clear, and humidity reduces compared to October. Night temperatures continue to drop gradually. Western disturbances occasionally bring light rain to regions like Gwalior, Chambal, Bhopal, Indore, Ujjain, and Jabalpur. Average temperatures hover around 30°C in the day and 15°C or lower at night.
