Madhya Pradesh Weather: IMD Predicts Fog For Bhopal

Meteorologists predict that the start of the new year will be marked by severe cold, with fog expected today. The cool and pleasant weather could persist until March.

This results in cooler evenings, providing a much-needed respite from the heat in May-June, as the evening breezes offer relief from the scorching daytime temperatures.
