]]>This marked the second day in a row where the daytime temperature rose, showing an increase of 0.6°C. Meanwhile, Chhindwara received over half an inch of rainfall on Thursday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted light showers on Friday across regions including Malwa-Nimar, Mahakaushal, and Narmadapuram.
Despite this temporary rise in temperature, meteorologists anticipate a second round of winter chill after Diwali — likely between October 24 and November 1. The initial cold spell had occurred between October 3 and 14, during which Bhopal saw its night temperature drop to 15.8°C.
New Delhi – Weather experts predict that winter may arrive nearly two weeks earlier than usual this year, with an extended duration likely to stretch from November through February across the Indo-Gangetic plains and central India.
This is attributed to the expected formation of La Niña conditions, which generally lead to colder-than-normal global temperatures during winter. Meteorologists suggest that the coming winter could be the most intense since 2010, with above-average rainfall and increased activity of Western Disturbances, especially in northwestern India.
The IMD has also confirmed signs that La Niña patterns are developing, which could bring a notable drop in temperatures and more winter rain in several parts of the country.

Isolated heavy falls also very likely over Uttarakhand on 30th August, 2021,” it said.
The IMD has said that during heavy rainfall could lead to localised flooding, inundation and water logging in low-lying areas in Madhya Pradesh and other states. There is a possibility of landslides, reduction in visibility, damage to vulnerable structure and standing crops in these states, the weather department said.
It also suggested action for the common people to avoid any loss of life of injury:
– Check for traffic congestion on your route before leaving for your destination.
– Follow any traffic advisories that are issued in this regard.
-Avoid going to areas that face the water logging problems often.
-Avoid staying in vulnerable structure.
The IMD on Sunday issued an orange alert for Uttarakhand. There have been intermittent rains in the state since Saturday night, which triggered landslides and waterlogging in various places.
According to the information received from the Disaster Management Department (DMD), more than 200 roads including five National Highways, 15 state highways are blocked in Uttarakhand due to incessant rains and efforts are being made to open them.
