BHOPAL: Cloudy weather will continue to cover the state capital, along with Indore, Hoshangabad, Ujjain and Jabalpur divisions for the next four to five days, due to severe cyclonic storm Maha. Many places of the said districts may experience hails too.
Western and central parts of MP recorded scattered light rain during last 24 hours. Manasa and Banpura recorded 30mm while Neemuch recorded 20mm rainfall in the last 24 hours.
