Bhopal Sees Intermittent Showers, Below‑Average Rainfall Across Madhya Pradesh
Bhopal had some rain, but not enough.
The city got only 1.6 millimeters of rain in a day, which is less than people expected.
The weather was a little hot, with temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius.
Some nearby districts, like Indore and Dewas, got more rain than usual, but most of the state got less rain.
Weather experts say the rain is weak because a weather system that usually brings rain has moved away.
They think only light showers will happen in the next day.
Bhopal recorded 1.6 mm of rainfall in the last 24 hours, below expectations.
Maximum temperature reached 30.5 °C, 2 °C above normal, with a minimum of 27.3 °C.
Eight districts, including Bhopal, Indore, and Dewas, received above‑average rainfall; Dewas had 29% excess.
Forty‑seven districts across Madhya Pradesh recorded below‑average rainfall, such as Anuppur and Balaghat.
Meteorologists attribute weak monsoon to a low‑pressure system moving inland, expecting only isolated light showers in the next 24 hours.
