Indore sees cloudy skies, but no relief from heat & humidity
Indore: The city continued to reel under intense heat despite partially cloudy skies in the afternoon due to thunderstorm and rainfall activities over eastern Madhya Pradesh, including Khandwa and Shajapur, on Monday.
By late afternoon (5:30 pm), Indore's temperature stood at 39.6 degrees Celsius, with humidity dropping sharply to 21 per cent, compounding the discomfort. Hot winds blew at 29 kmph, offering no relief from the oppressive heat.
Residents witnessed discomfort with the hot winds and the dry atmosphere making it difficult to step outdoors. The city recorded a maximum temperature of 41.4 degrees Celsius, one degree above normal, and a minimum of 25.5 degrees Celsius, two degrees above normal. The sharp rise in morning temperatures, 32.0 degrees Celsius at 8:30 am compared to 28.8 degrees Celsius the previous day, made the early hours unusually warm for residents.
The weather department has forecast a gradual rise in temperatures by two to four degrees Celsius over the next three days, followed by no significant change, indicating little immediate relief for Indoreans.

Districts across Malwa-Nimar region also witnessed intense heat with Ratlam continued to sizzle on Monday, recording the highest maximum temperature in Madhya Pradesh at 44 degrees Celsius for the second consecutive day. On Sunday, Ratlam touched 43.4 degrees Celsius, maintaining its position as the hottest place in the state. Dhar closed behind Ratlam at 42.9 degrees Celsius, followed by Khandwa at 42.1 degrees, Khargone and Ujjain both recording 42 degrees Celsius.
According to Dr Divya E Sunrendran, meteorologist at IMD Bhopal, while parts of eastern Madhya Pradesh will continue to receive light rainfall and thunderstorms, western and central districts, including Indore-Ujjain division, will experience above normal temperatures in the coming days. "Districts closer to the Rajasthan border like Neemuch, Mandsaur, and Ratlam are likely to face heatwave conditions," she added.
