Madhya Pradesh Monsoon: 15% Rainfall Deficit, No Heavy Rain Alert

The monsoon season in Madhya Pradesh, a state in central India, has brought less rain than usual.

By early August, the state had only 401.9 millimeters of rain, while normally it should have about 470.5 millimeters.

That means the state is 15% short of its normal rainfall.

The India Meteorological Department said there will be no heavy rain for the next two days because the weather systems are not strong enough.

However, a new weather disturbance is expected to start on August 4 and could bring heavy rain to the eastern and northern parts of the state from August 5 onward.
