Indore (Madhya Pradesh): With the change in wind pattern, the city's maximum and minimum temperature dropped some more on Thursday, leaving the city in the grip of cold winds.
Both the night and day temperatures are below the normal temperature and officials of the meteorological department said that the temperature will drop more in the coming days.
“The temperature had risen by one degree Celsius about a day ago due to humidity being pulled from the Arabian Sea which also turned the city sky partially clouded. Fluctuation in temperature has been frequent for the last few days due to frequent changes in wind pattern. The temperature has decreased again due to cold winds coming from the north east,” a meteorological department official said.
Maximum temperature on Thursday was 28 degrees Celsius, which was three degrees below normal while the night temperature was 14 degrees Celsius, which was one degree Celsius below the normal. The conditions will remain the same for two days and the night temperature may drop further.
