Madhya Pradesh Faces Severe Cold Wave
Madhya Pradesh and Nashik are experiencing a very cold winter.
The city of Indore is even colder than the hill station Pachmarhi, with temperatures dropping to 4.5°C, the lowest in 10 years.
Other major cities like Bhopal, Gwalior, Ujjain, and Jabalpur are also very cold.
Nashik has seen a drop of 4.3°C in the last three days, with the lowest temperature this season recorded at 5.9°C in Niphad.
The weather experts say that a strong wind called a jet stream is blowing very fast and making it colder.
They also say that a weather pattern called La Niña is making the Pacific Ocean cooler, which is pushing cold winds towards India.
This cold weather is expected to continue for a long time.
Meanwhile, Mumbai is not under any cold wave alert, but it is experiencing pleasant temperatures that will last only for a day or two.
After that, temperatures will rise gradually, before another likely cool spell returns towards late December or early January.
Indore recorded the lowest temperature in Madhya Pradesh at 4.5°C, colder than Pachmarhi's 4.8°C.
Major cities like Bhopal (6.6°C), Gwalior (9.2°C), Ujjain (8.2°C), and Jabalpur (8.5°C) experienced temperatures below 10°C.
Nashik's temperature dropped by 4.3°C in three days, reaching 8.1°C, with the lowest temperature this season recorded at 5.9°C in Niphad.
A strong jet stream blowing at 222 km/h at an altitude of 12.6 km is contributing to the cold wave.
Cold wave alert issued for parts of Madhya Maharashtra, Vidarbha, and Marathwada, while Mumbai is not under any cold wave alert.
