Why Is Karaundi Recording Minimum Temperature In MP
According to weather experts, Karaundi is situated on the slopes of the Vindhyachal mountain range. During winter, air near higher mountain peaks becomes colder and denser at night. This air flows down towards lower slopes, causing temperatures to fall sharply.
This phenomenon is associated with katabatic winds and thermal inversion. It is currently contributing to the unusually low temperatures in Karaundi, making it the coldest place in Madhya Pradesh.
