Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The city weather made a U-turn on Saturday as clouds covered the sky and many parts of the city witnessed rainfall.

The officials also forecast that the city mornings would turn misty after the clouds cleared. The low-pressure area developed over the coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh and Bay of Bengal has shifted towards Chhattisgarh and other regions which will result in light rainfall in the western parts of the state.
