For the past couple of days, rain lashed many parts of the country. Moderate to heavy monsoon rain reported over Central India. Madhya Pradesh has received moderate to heavy showers during the last 24 hours, while the intensity of rain has been higher over Madhya Pradesh.
During the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Friday, several parts of Madhya Pradesh recorded good monsoon rain, including Pachmarhi 74 mm, Jabalpur 49 mm, Guna 63.3 mm, Ujjain 11 mm, Seoni 10 mm, Sagar 29.4 mm, and Bhopal 13.9 mm.
These rains can be attributed to the low pressure over Northeast Madhya Pradesh and adjoining areas. Due to the off shore trough running along the West Coast, moisture incursion has increased over these areas resulting in good rain over Maharashtra. Also, the axis of monsoon trough is running in close proximity of the region.
