Indore: Clouds on Thursday provided little relief to the citizens as the day temperature dropped by two degrees Celsius as compared to Wednesday temperature. Moreover, it also came down below 30 degrees Celsius after a week.

However, the night temperature remained above five degrees Celsius from the normal making it sleepless for the people.

The day started as a hot and humid day with the sun shining brightly. However, the clouds enveloped the sky by afternoon and it turned comparatively cooler than the previous day.

According to the meteorological department, the city recorded a maximum temperature of 29 degrees Celsius on Thursday which was one degree Celsius above normal while the minimum temperature rose to 16 degrees Celsius, which was five degrees above normal.

“Change in weather is due to a western disturbance. Due to increased temperature for last many days, humidity is pulled towards the region and caused cloudy weather,” officials said.

They also added that the city may witness light rainfall on Friday and Saturday and city mornings will turn foggy after three days when clouds get clear.

“The change in weather has given me relief from scorching heat and I wish it to turn cool in next coming days,” student Punit Tiwari said. Photographer Pradeep Parmar said clouds gave him relief from itchy weather but he wished for cold conditions as half of December has come but no chill could be felt.
