What do meteorologists say?
Weather experts say that just like the monsoon has two crucial months - July and August - winter also has its peak during December and January. During these months, cold winds from North India enter Madhya Pradesh, causing a sharp drop in both day and night temperatures.
Active western disturbances in December also bring light rain (Mawtha), which further increases daytime cold. Many cities in the state are likely to experience cold waves in December. In January, these cold winds may continue for 20 to 22 days.
