Ideally, these cities are not under cold wave conditions but still have minimum temperatures below 5°C. Nowgong, Khajuraho, Gwalior, Rewa, Raisen, and Mandla have around 4°C minimum temperatures. At present, dry and cold winds from the northwest are blowing over most parts of the state. These winds are traveling from the Snowclad Mountains of Jammu and Kashmir.
Due to these winds, the temperatures are very low in most parts of the state. Moreover, the sky is also clear and due to the release of earth’s energy during the night in the form of longwave radiation, the night temperatures are falling. As per weathermen, the wind speed has increased and we do not expect any further fall in the minimum temperatures but the winter chill will stay for another two to three days.

Due to clear sky conditions, the day would be sunny and the maximum temperatures are in lower 20 degrees over northern and central parts however the southern districts are warmer as the maximum temperatures are in higher 20 degrees. Weather would remain cold during the nights and comfortable during the day during the next three to four days.
As on January 10, Gwalior recorded minimum temperature of 4.4°C, Jabalpur 6.6°C, Bhopal 8°C, and Indore is 9.3°C. The temperatures across all the regions are below normal. It is expected that Bhopal and Indore would record temperatures between 8°C and 9°C but Gwalior would record temperature below 5°C, making the weather very cold.
