Madhya Pradesh Monsoon Returns, Heavy Rain Alert In 15 Districts

The monsoon system has become active again in Madhya Pradesh after a break of three to four days, bringing rain back to several parts of the state. On Friday, Bhopal, Damoh, Tikamgarh, Vidisha and several other districts received rainfall.

In Bhopal, rain accompanied by strong winds reduced visibility to less than 100 metres at some places. The poor visibility and heavy rain slowed down traffic in several areas. In Damoh, low-lying areas were waterlogged after the rain.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), heavy rain is expected in 15 districts of Madhya Pradesh on Saturday. The areas under the heavy rain alert include Ujjain, Dhar, Barwani, Khargone, Khandwa, Dewas, Harda, Sagar, Raisen, Narmadapuram, Chhindwara, Pandhurna, Seoni, Balaghat and Chhatarpur.

With the return of monsoon rain, residents are expected to get some relief from the humid weather. Bhopal usually receives around 7 inches of rain in September. However, the city has received more than its average September rainfall for the past five years.

The overall record shows that Bhopal received more than 30 inches of rain during September 1961. The highest rainfall recorded in 24 hours was 9.2 inches on September 2, 1947.
