The heat has really picked up in Madhya Pradesh since the second week of March. Clear skies and strong sunlight are causing daytime temperatures to rise steadily. The fact that several cities are hitting 38 degrees Celsius indicates that the heat will only get worse in the coming days. However, the mornings and nights might still feel a little pleasant. But during the day, the feeling of heat will keep increasing. Weather experts believe that temperatures in the state could climb even higher by the last week of March.

Even with clear weather, people need to be careful with the rising heat. Spending too much time in the strong afternoon sun can lead to tiredness and dehydration. It's best to carry a water bottle and wear light-coloured clothes when going out. Experts advise that the elderly and children should be protected from the harsh afternoon sun. Farmers working in their fields also need to stay hydrated and shield themselves from the sun. A sudden temperature spike in March can impact one's health.

According to the weather department, the sky over Madhya Pradesh is likely to remain clear for the next few days. This means daytime temperatures could continue to rise slowly. The maximum temperature in many cities might stay around 38 degrees and could even touch 40 degrees in the coming days. If there are no major changes in the weather pattern, the heat will feel much more intense by the end of March. People are being advised to start preparing for the summer heat now.
