What do meteorologists say?
According to IMD Bhopal’s senior meteorologist Dr. Divya E. Surendran, a low-pressure area is developing in the Bay of Bengal on October 4. This will affect the eastern parts of Madhya Pradesh, delaying the monsoon retreat in these areas.
As a result, temperatures have risen. On Thursday, Gwalior recorded a high of 36.6°C, and other districts are also experiencing increased heat. The monsoon is expected to retreat from Ujjain and Indore divisions by Friday, followed by Bhopal and Narmadapuram.
The weather department predicts no rain in the state on Friday. Clear skies will likely lead to increased heat during the day.

On Thursday, Guna recorded the highest temperature at 36.8°C, with Gwalior and Khajuraho at 36.6°C. Other cities like Rewa, Damoh, Bhopal, Tikamgarh, Jabalpur, and Satna also saw temperatures exceeding 35°C. However, nights are expected to become cooler as the season changes.
Saturday expected to be hotter:
There is no chance of rain anywhere in the state on Friday. The weather will remain clear with bright sunshine. In several districts, temperatures will remain above 35 degrees Celsius.
