Heavy Rain Ends as Monsoon Withdrawal Nears Madhya Pradesh

Heavy rain in Madhya Pradesh is expected to stop for a few days.

Weather officials do not expect an active monsoon system to affect the state during that time.

This means more sunshine should appear, especially in Bhopal, Indore, Ujjain and Gwalior divisions.

The monsoon may start moving away from the state on Wednesday or Thursday.

Some western districts may be sunny as early as Tuesday.

Other places could still have clouds, drizzle or light rain.

Rainfall has not been equal across the state, with some areas getting more than usual and others getting less.

The report gives different rainfall descriptions for a few eastern districts, including Jabalpur and Rewa.
