Moist air from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal continues to flow into Central India, resulting in heavy cloud cover and on-and-off showers across several regions. This has led to a steep drop in daytime temperatures, making conditions feel more like December. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), light to moderate rainfall is likely to persist over the next two to three days.
Rain activity remains active across Madhya Pradesh as the remnants of Cyclone Monta have weakened into a deep low-pressure zone over eastern Madhya Pradesh and adjoining Chhattisgarh. A separate low-pressure system is also active over the east-central Arabian Sea, while another upper-air cyclonic circulation hovers over southern Haryana and parts of Rajasthan. The IMD has indicated that a fresh western disturbance will influence the Himalayan region starting November 3, which could extend the ongoing wet spell. On Friday, most parts of Madhya Pradesh are expected to receive rainfall, with Rewa, Shahdol, and Jabalpur divisions likely to witness moderate to heavy showers.
Meteorologists report that continued moisture feed from both the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal is sustaining cloud formation and intermittent rainfall across the region. The weather pattern has caused a marked decline in maximum temperatures, giving residents a preview of winter. This chilly and damp phase is expected to continue for at least the next three to four days.
Rajasthan too experienced widespread drizzle and dense fog on Thursday, amplifying the cold conditions in several parts of the state. Cities such as Jaipur, Udaipur, Alwar, Sikar, and Karauli recorded notable drops in temperature. The combination of rainfall and fog reduced visibility on highways and rural roads, slowing down vehicular movement. The weather department has issued a yellow alert across 17 districts, cautioning residents of light to moderate rainfall accompanied by gusty winds.
