Madhya Pradesh is once again experiencing a shift in weather patterns. Recent rainfall in several parts of the state has brought a chill to the air. The Meteorological Department has now indicated that a new weather system is likely to become active, bringing chances of light rain and hail to select districts.

Daytime Heat, Nighttime Chill:

People in Madhya Pradesh have been noticing daily changes in the weather. The warmth of the sun during the day provides relief from the cold, yet as evening sets in, the chill returns. In some districts, daytime temperatures have reached up to 35 degrees Celsius. On Wednesday, temperatures in various parts of the state increased by 1 to 2 degrees Celsius, indicating a warm daytime trend.

New Weather System Expected to Activate on March 10:

According to forecasts from the Meteorological Department (IMD), a new weather system is expected to activate across the state starting March 10. As a result, several districts are likely to experience rain and hail. Areas such as Balaghat, Dindori, Anuppur, Amarkantak, and Shahdol may see significant rainfall, accompanied by possible hailstorms, which could affect crops in these regions.

Potential Impact on Crops: The current fluctuations in temperature and the anticipated rain and hail may directly impact crops across Madhya Pradesh. Farmers are advised to stay alert to minimize potential damage during this period.

This changing weather highlights the need for preparedness as the state navigates through these seasonal shifts, ensuring that farmers can take necessary precautions to protect their livelihoods.
