The weather office, however, said others areas in the central Indian state will continue to face the intense heat wave.
On Wednesday, Bhopal experienced a maximum temperature of 42.3 degrees Celsius, Indore recorded 41.4 degrees, Gwalior recorded 43.7 degrees and Jabalpur witnessed 44.1 degrees.
Tourist hub Khajuraho reeled under a maximum temperature of 46 degrees Celsius -- and so did Gwalior and Datia.
On Thursday, Bhopal recorded a minimum temperature of 30.3 degrees Celsius while Indore registered 26.6 degrees and Gwalior 26.6 degrees. Jabalpur witnessed 28 degrees Celsius.
