Heavy Rain Alerts Issued for Eastern Madhya Pradesh Amid Below-Normal Seasonal Rainfall
Madhya Pradesh is experiencing heavy rainfall alerts in eastern districts including Jabalpur, Rewa, and Shahdol divisions for several days due to a strong weather system linked to a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal. The India Meteorological Department forecasts 4 to 8 inches of rain in affected areas, with some districts receiving extremely heavy rainfall. Despite this, 43 districts across the state continue to record below-normal rainfall this monsoon season, with eastern regions showing larger deficits than western parts.
