MP Weather Update: Alert of heavy monsoon devastation in 55 districts of MP, do not go out for the next 48 hours even by mistake

Along with the entire country, the impact of monsoon has deepened in Madhya Pradesh as well. On Thursday, the south-west monsoon suddenly gained tremendous speed and within no time it engulfed the entire state. It is a matter of relief that the monsoon, which was far away from Gwalior-Chambal and the border districts adjoining Rajasthan till just a day ago, moved forward rapidly due to the low pressure area formed in the Bay of Bengal. According to the Meteorological Department, now this system is moving towards the north-west direction, due to which there will be continuous torrential rains in the entire state till July 7.

On Thursday, heavy rain was seen in many big and major districts of the state including the capital Bhopal. It rained 9 mm of water in Bhopal from 2:30 pm to 3:15 pm i.e. within just 45 minutes. Meteorologist SN Sahu said that the rain activities in the state are going to become more intense from Friday. With this new round of heavy rains, people will not only get relief from the scorching heat, but there will also be a huge drop of 2 to 3 degrees Celsius in the maximum temperature of the state.
