Heavy Rainfall to Lash Several Districts in Next 24 Hours: Warning Issued

MP Weather: Heavy rain alert issued for 4 districts. Between 2.5 and 4.5 inches of rain is expected in the next 24 hours. Light rain is possible in Bhopal.

MP Weather: The weather in the capital city Bhopal, has changed dramatically in recent days. The city is experiencing intermittent sunshine and rain. With high humidity, local systems are activating in the afternoons and evenings, leading to showers in different parts of the city. This weather trend has persisted throughout September, which is considered the last month of the monsoon season. The monsoon's retreat usually begins at the end of this month or in the first week of October. Ten days of September have already passed, indicating that the monsoon's departure is not far off. Currently, there is no strong weather system; therefore, the present rainfall is due to moisture from nearby systems and local weather patterns. This results in alternating periods of sunshine and rain.

Heavy Rainfall in These Districts

According to the Meteorological Department, a monsoon trough, depression, and cyclonic circulation system are currently active, but these are far from the state. Due to this, rainfall is limited to a few districts. Today, there is an alert for heavy rainfall in Mandla, Dindori, Anuppur, and Balaghat. These areas may receive 2.5 to 4.5 inches of rain in the next 24 hours. Bhopal may experience light rain. Indore, Ujjain, Jabalpur, and Gwalior will also see changes in the weather.
