Monsoon Revives in Madhya Pradesh, Heavy Rain Forecast
The monsoon rains have started again in a big Indian state called Madhya Pradesh.
Weather experts at the Meteorological Department say it will rain in many parts of the state.
In Bhopal, the capital city, the sky will stay cloudy and rain may fall off and on all day.
In Indore, it rained a lot on Monday, and more rain is likely on Tuesday.
The rain will make the weather cooler and more pleasant, but it can also cause problems.
Water may collect on roads in low-lying areas, which is called waterlogging, and traffic can be affected.
Experts warn of heavy rain, thunder, lightning, and strong winds in many districts.
The rain started because a low-pressure area formed over and around northern Madhya Pradesh.
Heavy rain is expected to continue in the coming days, so people are advised to be careful.
The monsoon has become active again in Madhya Pradesh, with the IMD warning of heavy rain, thunderstorms and strong winds.
Bhopal, the state capital, is expected to see cloudy skies and intermittent rain on Tuesday, bringing cooler and pleasant weather.
Indore, which saw continuous rain on Monday, is likely to get another spell of rain, with possible waterlogging in low-lying areas and disrupted traffic.
Heavy rain is forecast in western Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday and Wednesday, and in eastern Madhya Pradesh on August 13 and 14.
Weather experts say the spell of rain has been triggered by a low-pressure area developing over and around northern Madhya Pradesh.
