Bhopal: Sunday witnessed an unseasonal rise in daytime temperatures to 33.4 degrees Celsius in Bhopal, surpassing the normal mark by a degree, as rain showers evaded the city during the day. However, meteorological authorities predict continued showers across Bhopal and various parts of Madhya Pradesh in the coming days.
According to officials from the Meteorological Department, multiple weather systems are influencing the region. A monsoon trough shifting from Gwalior to Sindhi in the state, coupled with a western depression extending from north to central Pakistan, and cyclonic circulations spanning from south-western Uttar Pradesh to northeast Rajasthan are contributing to weather patterns. Offshore storms over the south Gujarat-Kerala coasts and active cyclonic circulations along the south Andhra Pradesh coast to the west central Bay of Bengal are expected to sustain rainfall activities in several areas of Madhya Pradesh. While Bhopal experienced a daytime temperature of 33.4 degrees Celsius, with nighttime temperatures at a normal 23.9 degrees Celsius, the Meteorological Department forecasts cloudy skies with possibilities of rain and thunder for Monday. Daytime temperatures are expected to hover around 31 degrees Celsius, with nighttime temperatures around 24 degrees Celsius, accompanied by an average wind speed of fourteen kilometers per hour.
