What do meteorologists say?

According to IMD Bhoapl’s weather expert, this sudden change is due to an active Western Disturbance and a Cyclonic Circulation. This will cause occasional rain across the state for the next few days, while heat will still persist.

The rain and stormy weather will continue on April 29, 30, and May 1. However, intense heat will also be felt, especially during the day. In the Gwalior-Chambal region, strong heat during the daytime and rain at night are expected.

As north-western winds gain strength, the minimum temperature across Madhya Pradesh is expected to stay 3 to 4 degrees higher than normal, around 27 - 30°C. Days and nights will both remain hot. Gwalior, Chambal, Sagar, and Rewa divisions may see maximum temperatures between 43 - 45°C, while other regions like Indore, Bhopal, and Ujjain will experience temperatures between 41- 44°C.

A heatwave is likely to affect the state for 3 - 4 days at the end of April due to a cyclonic system near Bengal.
