Moderate rainfall spells can be observed at many places in the Mahakaushal region. Incidents of lightning strikes and strong winds may also increase in these areas. Relief in Bhopal, Narmadapuram, and Bundelkhand Expert Nayak said that in the central parts of Madhya Pradesh, including Bhopal, Raisen, Sehore, Vidisha, Rajgarh, Narmadapuram, Betul, and Harda, there is a possibility of cloudy skies, thunder and lightning, and light to moderate rain in the afternoon. This will provide relief from the intense heat experienced for the past few days. Rainfall activities may also increase locally in the Sagar, Damoh, Chhatarpur, Tikamgarh, and Panna regions. Humidity will increase in Malwa-Nimar The effect of moisture coming from the Arabian Sea will be visible in the districts of Indore, Ujjain, Dhar, Khargone, Barwani, Khandwa and Burhanpur. Here, the movement of clouds will increase and light rain may occur at some places. However, the prevalence of rain is likely to be less compared to Eastern Madhya Pradesh. The temperature will fall Maximum temperatures in most parts of the state may see a drop of 2 to 5 degrees Celsius. Where it rains, the weather will remain pleasant, while in areas where it will only be cloudy, humidity may increase. Currently, a struggle continues in Central India between heat and monsoon moisture, due to which the weather will continue to change rapidly. Groundwork for monsoon entry is being laid Considering the current progress of the monsoon and active weather systems, it can be said that the groundwork for the monsoon’s entry into Madhya Pradesh has been prepared. If these conditions persist for the next few days, monsoon activities may intensify in southeastern and eastern Madhya Pradesh. For farmers, this is the time to prepare for Kharif crops, but it would be more appropriate to wait for sustained and widespread rainfall before sowing. Reason for such weather Meteorologist Arun Sharma stated that there is pre-monsoon activity in the state. Meanwhile, a cyclonic circulation (cyclone) and a trough are also active in the northeastern part. Due to this, the weather has changed. On June 11, a Western Disturbance may affect the Western Himalayan region. Its effect will also be seen in MP.
