Senior Meteorologist Dr. Vedprakash Singh reports an active but weak Western Disturbance, unlikely to cause significant rainfall in the first week. Night temperatures might drop slightly, but cold will reduce in the second week. The final week of February will see an increase in day and night temperatures.

Analyzing a decade of weather data, February in Madhya Pradesh features warm days, cold nights, and sporadic rainfall.

Cities like Bhopal, Indore, and Ujjain often record maximum temperatures above 30°C, while minimum temperatures range from 10 to 14°C. Gwalior typically experiences the coldest nights, with past records showing minimum temperatures below 5°C.
