Monday hottest day in State with 47.10 C


Bhopal, May 17 -- Monday recorded the highest day temperature of the season in the State at 47.1 degree celsius which was witnessed in Khajuraho. Naugoan recorded day temperature at 46.1 degree celsius which was nearest to the highest day temperature of the state on Monday.
City recorded day temperature at 43.3 degree celsius which was the highest day temperature of the season and Met officials have claimed that the temperature of the city would witness rise in the temperature after the partial cloud cover would clear which was present on Monday.
On Monday the temperature remained at the same level witnessed on Sunday due to the cloud cover which provided respite from the extreme hot conditions in the early morning hours.
Heatwave has raised curfew-like situation in several parts of Madhya Pradesh. Sunday was the hottest day of this season so far in the state with the mercury rising above 45degC in Northern parts of Madhya Pradesh. Naugaon in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh is the hottest city in India at present with maximum touching 46.5degC on Sunday.
The mercury refused to come down at night as well. Thus, minimums are also settling close to the 30-degree mark in most of the places.
On Sunday, traces of rainfall were witnessed in Sagar and Gwalior. However, these rains occurred in the late afternoon hours and failed to bring any relief from the heat.
Heatwave returned back to Central India including Madhya Pradesh last couple of days back. Reason for this sudden rise in temperatures could be attributed to cessation of pre- Monsoon activities and change in wind direction. At present, the winds are blowing from northwest and west direction up to Central India. These hot and dry winds travelling from Balochistan and Rajasthan have joined hands with bright sunshine to bring heatwave.
Heatwave conditions have already spread across most parts of Central and North Madhya Pradesh, rapidly extending to some more parts of the state during next 48 hours. No weather activity is likely over the region for the time being. Therefore, temperatures will continue to settle near the 45-degree mark.
Heat wave likely to subside by end of May: IMD
According to IMD, heat wave conditions are already prevailing over Madhya and it is expected to spread over more parts of north and central India, including the national capital, in the next five days but the conditions are likely to gradually subside during the remaining part of the month.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), heat wave conditions are already prevailing over parts of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha and Telangana
