Madhya Pradesh Forecast Rain Across Districts as Monsoon Wanes
Madhya Pradesh may get more rain as the monsoon season begins to end.
The India Meteorological Department expects showers in many districts, including Bhopal, Indore, Ujjain and Jabalpur.
A new weather system is forming over the north Andaman Sea.
This system could bring rain, but meteorologists are still watching how strong and how far it moves.
There is currently no warning for very heavy rain through September 23.
Recent rain caused water levels to rise and some dams near Bhopal to open their gates.
In one tragic incident, eight people died after their car was swept away by floodwater in Agar-Malwa.
Two other people died after being struck by lightning in Shahdol.
The India Meteorological Department forecasts light to moderate rain across many Madhya Pradesh districts through the coming days.
Bhopal, Indore, Ujjain, Jabalpur, Gwalior and numerous other districts are listed for rain on September 21 and 22.
A low-pressure area forming over the north Andaman Sea could influence Madhya Pradesh, though its impact depends on its strength and direction.
There is no heavy-rain alert for the state until September 23, but officials said the forecast could change.
Recent heavy rain opened gates at two Bhopal-area dams; eight people died when a car was swept away in Agar-Malwa, and two people died from lightning in Shahdol.
