Madhya Pradesh Faces Uneven Monsoon Rainfall with Deficits in West, Heavy Rain in East
Madhya Pradesh has experienced uneven monsoon rainfall in 2026, with western regions like Kukshi and Bagh facing significant deficits of over 200 mm, raising concerns about Kharif crops, Rabi season cultivation, and water availability. In contrast, eastern districts such as Bhind, Niwari, and Satna have received rainfall exceeding or near seasonal averages. Major dams across the state are between 50% and 90% full, and the weather department forecasts more heavy rain in early September, which farmers hope will alleviate deficits and support agriculture.
