IMD Issues Heavy Rain Alerts for Madhya Pradesh Amid Incoming Cyclone System
Madhya Pradesh is expected to experience heavy rainfall from September 23 to 26 due to a low-pressure system and a Bay of Bengal cyclone intensifying rain activity. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued heavy rain alerts for multiple districts, including Bhopal, Chhindwara, Seoni, and Balaghat. The state has recorded about 91.5% of its normal rainfall so far, with the upcoming rains likely to improve the overall monsoon deficit before the withdrawal phase begins.
