MP June 1 Weather Update: Rain & Thunderstorm Alerts Till June 4; Monsoon To Hit State Soon

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh witnessed an unusual weather pattern in the month of May and even the ‘Nautapa’ phase. The spell of pre-monsoon rains and thunderstorms are expected in early June as well, with an alert issued till June 4.

Weather expected on Sunday

On June 1, there is a possibility of strong winds and rainfall in the following districts:

Gwalior, Sheopur, Morena, Bhind, Shivpuri, Datia, Guna, Ashoknagar, Niwari, Tikamgarh, Chhatarpur, Panna, Satna, Rewa, Maihar, Sidhi, Singrauli, Neemuch, Mandsaur, Jhabua, Alirajpur, Dhar, Khargone, Burhanpur, and Betul.

Monsoon to hit state soon

Meteorologists say that currently, trough activity and cyclonic circulation systems are active. Because of this, a thunderstorm and rain alert remains in place until June 4. Day and night temperatures may see a slight increase in several cities, and humidity levels are also expected to rise.

The monsoon is likely to enter Madhya Pradesh between June 7 and 10. Looking at data from the past 10 years, intense heat typically affects the state just before the monsoon arrives. The Gwalior-Chambal region tends to be the hottest, though Bhopal, Indore, and Ujjain divisions also experience severe heat during this period.

Some relief from the high temperatures usually begins in the final days of June. However, nighttime temperatures during June can drop by 8 to 10°C, and similar weather conditions are expected this year as well.

June weather trend

Historical data from the past decade suggests that intense heat usually precedes the monsoon. The Gwalior-Chambal region experiences the most heat, while Bhopal, Indore, and Ujjain divisions also see extreme temperatures.

By the end of June, temperatures begin to ease. Nighttime lows can drop to 8–10°C, and similar trends are expected this year as well.
