With the different weather systems that have been developing across the states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, have induced intermittent rains since the beginning of March.
Weathermen predict that March will end on a rainy note for both the states. This is because a new Trough is expected to form from Jharkhand up to Telangana across Chhattisgarh and Vidarbha region around March 30. In addition to this, an induced Cyclonic Circulation will develop over West Rajasthan. From this circulation, another Trough will extend up to North Madhya Pradesh. The temperatures have soared as Khargone recorded 43 degree Celsius temperature during the day on Thursday.
West Madhya Pradesh witnessed soared temperatures and several places recorded day temperatures around 39 degree Celsius while Dhar recorded 41 degree Celsius.
State capital recorded day temperature at 37.6 degree Celsius on Thursday while night temperature was recorded at 19.4 degree Celsius. Among the nearby regions Hoshangabad recorded day temperature at 39.1 degree Celsius while major cities remained around 38 degree Celsius and Jabalpur recorded 36.3 degree Celsius.
With the combined effect of all these systems, rains will occur over eastern and central parts of Madhya Pradesh as well as adjoining Chhattisgarh on March 30 and 31.
This time, the northern and western parts of Madhya Pradesh, which always remain deprived of any rains, because of their distance from weather systems, would be lucky enough to get light rains at few places.
Places like Gwalior, Guna, Sagar, Damoh, Jabalpur, Bilaspur, Ambikapur, Raigad and Jagdalpur will witness light rains. Due to the weak nature of the Trough, chances of heavy thunderstorm, lightning strikes and hailstorm activities are bleak.
By April 1, this rainy belt will shift towards East and Northeast India and the weather will start clearing up in MP and Chhattisgarh.
