Due to cloudy weather, the sun couldn’t shine in the city throughout the day and intermittent showers left citizens confused on whether to wear a raincoat or a sweater.
Ved Prakash Singh, senior scientist, India Meteorological department, said, “The rainfall activities will decrease from Tuesday and the night temperature will decrease while day temperature will increase again by a couple of degrees Celsius.

“The western disturbance as a cyclonic circulation lies over central Pakistan in middle and upper tropospheric levels. The induced cyclonic circulation lies over north Gujarat and adjoining Rajasthan at lower tropospheric levels. While the phase locking of the above western disturbance with the low-level easterly winds has become insignificant. Hence, the intensity of adverse weather is likely to reduce from today,” Singh said adding “Under the influence of these systems, light to moderate rainfall at some places accompanied with isolated thunderstorms and lightning very likely over Madhya Pradesh till November 29 with significant reduction thereafter.”
The maximum temperature on Monday was recorded at 20 degrees Celsius, which was nine degrees less than normal, while the minimum temperature was recorded at 14.6 degrees Celsius, which was two degrees above normal.
