Chhattisgarh Weather Update: Chhattisgarh is expected to experience a significant rise in temperature over the coming days, with the Meteorological Department forecasting an increase of 3 to 4 degrees Celsius in maximum temperatures. The change in weather conditions is likely to become more noticeable from April 14, when several parts of the state may record temperatures above normal levels.

Major Cities Likely to Cross 42°C

According to weather experts, regions including Raipur, Bilaspur, and parts of the Durg division may witness temperatures exceeding 42 degrees Celsius. Along with the soaring mercury, certain areas could also experience heatwave conditions, prompting authorities to advise caution, especially during peak afternoon hours.

Recent Weather Conditions and Temperature Trends

In the past 24 hours, light rainfall was reported in a few parts of the state, offering temporary relief. Despite this, Durg recorded the highest temperature at 38.4 degrees Celsius, while Ambikapur remained relatively cooler with a minimum temperature of 14 degrees Celsius.

Impact of Active Trough System

Meteorologists have attributed the changing weather pattern to an active trough system extending from Odisha to the Gulf of Mannar. This system passes through southern Chhattisgarh and stretches across Vidarbha, Marathwada, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. Its influence is contributing to both temperature fluctuations and occasional light rainfall activity.

Dry Weather Expected Before Heat Intensifies

The weather department has predicted dry conditions across the state for the next two days. However, from April 14 onward, the intensity of heat is expected to increase further, making conditions uncomfortable in several districts.

Clear Skies in Raipur

The state capital Raipur is likely to witness clear skies on April 12. The maximum temperature is expected to hover around 39 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature may remain close to 25 degrees Celsius, indicating a steady warming trend.
