Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh is likely to experience thunderstorms and rain in the coming days as the monsoon is yet to enter the state.
Currently, the monsoon has stalled over Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh and has not progressed further for the last few days.
On Monday, a storm and rain alert has been issued for many districts including Bhopal, Indore, Ujjain, Gwalior, Morena, Bhind, Datia, Tikamgarh, Rewa, Satna, Jabalpur, and many more. Wind speeds in these areas may reach 40 to 50 kilometers per hour. Meanwhile, districts like Harda, Barwani, Khandwa, Khargone, and Burhanpur may have clear weather.
Weather forecast for the next 4 days:
June 2: Rain likely in many districts including Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, Satna, Jabalpur, and more, with winds up to 40-50 km/h.
June 3: Thunderstorm and rain alerts continue in most parts of the state including Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, Harda, Khandwa, Burhanpur, and others.
June 4: Rain chances remain high in many districts with strong winds.
June 5: Storm and rain alerts continue in areas including Indore, Ujjain, Gwalior, Satna, Jabalpur, and others.
Why this weather?
Senior meteorologist Dr. Divya E. Surendran explained that three cyclonic circulations and one western disturbance are active right now. These weather systems are causing light rain and storms across the state. Temperatures during the day and night may rise a bit, but no heatwave is expected.
What about June?
Meteorologists say cyclonic circulations and other weather systems will remain active, so rain and storms are expected at least until June 5. Day and night temperatures may rise slightly, and humidity will increase.
The monsoon is expected to enter Madhya Pradesh between June 7 and June 10. Looking at the past 10 years, strong heat is common before the monsoon arrives. Gwalior-Chambal area stays the hottest, while Bhopal, Indore, and Ujjain also get very warm. Temperatures usually cool down by the last days of June. Night temperatures can drop by 8 to 10 degrees during June. This year, similar weather is expected.
