June 8: Rain likely in Khandwa, Harda, Sehore, Narmadapuram, Betul, Chhindwara, and nearby districts.

Residents are advised to stay alert and take precautions during stormy weather.

Usually, early June brings high temperatures above 40°C in cities like Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, Jabalpur, and Ujjain. But this year, the temperatures have remained lower, and many areas are experiencing regular rain and storms. A storm alert has been issued for the next four days.

According to the IMD, strong winds up to 50 km/h with rain are expected on June 5 in districts like Gwalior, Sheopur, Morena, Bhind, Datia, Tikamgarh, Chhatarpur, Ashoknagar, Vidisha, Sagar, Katni, Mandla, and others.

Why Rain Instead Of Summer?

Weather expert Dr. Surendran said the reason for the continuous rain and storm in May was due to active cyclonic circulations, western disturbances, and trough systems. These weather systems remained active all through May and are still continuing in June.
