In Madhya Pradesh, most places are experiencing above normal maximum temperatures since April. Weather conditions are almost dry, and temperatures are soaring.
The most effected region of the state is Southwest Madhya Pradesh, especially the district of Khargone which is observing extremely hot conditions. On April 28, Khargone saw the maximum temperature settle at a sizzling 47.5˚C. Moreover, Khargone has remained the hottest city of the country since the last four days.
Many other places in Madhya Pradesh are also recording day temperatures close to 45˚C. Yesterday, Khandwa recorded its maximum temperature at 46.1˚C, followed by Hoshangabad 45.4˚C, Damoh 44.5˚C, Nowgaon 44.5˚C, Khajuraho 44.2˚C, Ratlam 44.1˚C and Betul 44.0˚C.
The reason for this severe heat wave condition in Madhya Pradesh and adjoining parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat is due to the prolonged dry spell of 10 to 12 days.
Similar weather conditions (dry and heat wave ) are likely to prevail over most parts of Madhya Pradesh. No relief is in sight for the state.
Dry and hot winds from northwest direction will continue to blow over Madhya Pradesh and its adjoining areas. These winds are travelling from Sindh province of Pakistan across Rajasthan, where temperatures are already very high, which is leading to hot weather conditions in India.
