New Delhi, November 10, 2025 — The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a cold wave alert for Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand, forecasting a significant drop in night temperatures across the region between November 9 and 11. The warning comes amid a broader weather transition affecting central and eastern India, with temperatures expected to fall 2–5°C below normal in several areas.
According to the IMD bulletin, isolated pockets in East Rajasthan are also likely to experience cold wave conditions, while southern states such as Tamil Nadu and Kerala brace for light to moderate rainfall and thunderstorms. The forecast highlights a sharp contrast in weather patterns across the country, driven in part by La Niña conditions influencing atmospheric dynamics.
Residents in the affected states are advised to take precautionary measures, especially during nighttime and early morning hours when the chill is expected to intensify. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly and children, may face increased health risks due to the sudden temperature drop.
Local administrations have been alerted to prepare for potential disruptions, including increased demand for heating resources and possible impacts on agriculture. Meteorologists suggest that the cold wave may signal an early onset of winter in parts of central India, with further updates expected as conditions evolve.
The IMD continues to monitor the situation closely and will issue additional advisories as needed. Citizens are encouraged to stay informed through official weather channels and follow safety guidelines during this period of climatic fluctuation.
