The state of West Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh are witnessing extreme cold conditions. It is not very usual for Madhya Pradesh to observe chilly winter but for the last few days, the minimum temperature has been settling 4-5 degrees below the normal average.
For instance, Betul observed the minimum temperature settle at 2.8 degree Celsius today morning while in Gwalior the night temperature settled at 3.3 degrees Celsius.
Similar weather conditions are prevailing in West Uttar Pradesh. The minimum temperature recorded in Bareilly today morning was 3.1 degrees Celsius while in Moradabad the night temperature settled at 3.8 degrees Celsius. Places like Noida, Ghaziabad, Rampur, Meerut, and Agra are also witnessing extremely cold weather conditions with the minimum temperatures settling 6-7 degrees below normal.
According to the weather models at Skymet, dry weather conditions are prevailing in the entire state of West Uttar Pradesh and many parts of Madhya Pradesh with partly cloudy skies.
The minimum temperature has decreased 4-5 degrees below average across a large part of both the states resulting in cold wave conditions. Moderate to dense fog is also being witnessed in the region. There is no significant weather system prevailing in the region but as the northerly/northwesterly winds are blowing across both the states the minimum temperature will decrease further during the next 24 to 36 hours. Frost conditions are likely to in northern parts of Madhya Pradesh.
Thereafter, the cold northwesterly winds will change to become easterlies due to which minimum and maximum temperatures will start rising. As a Western Disturbance is likely to approach the Western Himalayas by the night of December 30 we expect light rain and thundershower in South Madhya Pradesh and West Uttar Pradesh.
Due to this weather system, night temperature will increase and the day temperature will decrease in the state of Madhya Pradesh.
