Severe Heatwave Hits Madhya Pradesh with Temperatures Up to 46°C in Khajuraho

Madhya Pradesh is experiencing a severe heatwave with temperatures reaching up to 46°C in Khajuraho and over 43°C in Bhopal and other cities. The India Meteorological Department attributes the heatwave to dry north-westerly winds, clear skies, and a high-pressure system trapping hot air. Alerts have been issued across multiple districts, with officials advising residents to avoid outdoor activities during peak afternoon heat. Some areas may see evening thunderstorms and light rain due to an active cyclonic system.
