Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A strong system is set to become active again in Madhya Pradesh on February 25-26, inducing light showers accompanied by thunder and lightning to 29 districts, including Bhopal and Jabalpur.
Indore and Ujjain are likely to experience clear weather. Prior to this, on February 23-24, cloud cover is expected across the region, with a cool breeze due to the influence of the jet stream.
