A persistent low-pressure system anchored over the northern regions of central Uttar Pradesh, coupled with an active monsoon trough and a Western Disturbance over North Pakistan and Punjab, continues to trigger widespread rainfall across Madhya Pradesh. Rewa division bore the brunt of the monsoon’s fury, with most areas recording substantial rainfall. Meanwhile, a majority of places across the Jabalpur, Shahdol, and Sagar divisions, along with scattered pockets in Gwalior and Chambal, experienced moderate to heavy downpours. Isolated precipitation was also observed spanning the Bhopal, Indore, Narmadapuram, and Ujjain divisions, keeping the State under a humid and wet spell. The Meteorological Department logged extreme rainfall measurements during this period, with Gaurihar recording a massive 182.0 millimetres of very heavy rainfall.

 

Ajaigarh followed closely with a heavy downpour of 105.0 millimetres, while Birsingpur, Karhal, and Majhgaon also registered significant heavy showers. Accompanying the deluge, severe gusty winds and storms swept across multiple districts, with Tikamgarh clocking the highest wind speed at 63 kilometers per hour, followed by Bhind at 56 kilometers per hour, and Datia and Gwalior both recording wind speeds of 44 kilometers per hour. Temperature volatility and regional variances: The extensive cloud cover and continuous rainfall caused maximum temperatures to plunge appreciably below the seasonal normal by up to 3.5 degrees Celsius in districts under the Indore, Rewa, and Shahdol divisions. Similarly, the divisions of Bhopal, Ujjain, Gwalior, Jabalpur, and Sagar saw daytime temperatures hover nearly 2.7 degrees Celsius below normal. In contrast, districts within the Chambal and Sagar divisions witnessed a noticeable spike, with maximum temperatures rising by more than 2 degrees Celsius.

 

Prithvipur in the Niwari district emerged as the hottest location in the state, recording a maximum temperature of 35.0 degrees Celsius, while Khargone registered the lowest minimum temperature at 19.0 degrees Celsius. Night temperatures across the State remained largely stable, showing no major variations in a majority of the divisions. However, the Rewa division experienced a slight dip, with minimum temperatures dropping nearly 2 degrees Celsius below the normal average. Conversely, the Shahdol division recorded a significant warmth during the night hours, with minimum temperatures climbing 3.3 degrees Celsius above the seasonal normal, while the rest of the state maintained baseline temperatures. Heavy rain warnings issued for isolated pockets:

 

Forecasting severe thunderstorms, lightning, and aggressive gusty winds reaching speeds of forty to fifty kilometers per hour across almost all districts of the state. A specialised heavy rainfall warning has been placed over isolated areas within Sidhi, Satna, Shahdol, Panna, and Maihar districts, where residents have been advised to remain cautious against lightning strikes and strong winds. Meanwhile, a gradual rise in daytime temperatures by two to three degrees Celsius is expected across the state over the next three days, followed by a steady cooling period. In the capital city of Bhopal, the morning observations recorded a maximum temperature of 30.2 degrees Celsius, which is about two degrees below normal, alongside a high humidity level of eighty-three percent. While the city remained dry over the last twenty-four hours, the cumulative rainfall since the start of June has reached an impressive 400.3 millimetres. The local forecast predicts a partly cloudy sky with light corporate showers stretching into the evening or night hours, with temperatures expected to fluctuate between a maximum of 32.0 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 25.0 degrees Celsius.
