Heat and humidity increased during rain break
Madhya Pradesh has not received heavy rain for the last three days, leading to a rise in heat and humidity. Bhopal saw strong sunshine on Thursday, while sunny conditions were also reported in Indore, Ujjain, Gwalior and Jabalpur.
The weather department said a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal, an active monsoon trough and a cyclonic circulation are supporting the return of rain in the state.
Rain deficit still at 8%
Madhya Pradesh received 14% less rain than normal in June. Heavy rain in the early part of July reduced the gap, but the monsoon later took two breaks, leading to several dry days.
Another strong weather system became active in the last week of July. Despite this, the state recorded 13% less rain in July. The July and August rainfall quota was later completed, but the shortage from June remained.
So far, Madhya Pradesh has received 8% less rainfall than normal this monsoon season.
