Humidity grips large parts of State

 

 

 

The State witnessed varied weather patterns in the last 24 hours, with rainfall limited to specific regions while large parts of the State remained dry. The absence of widespread showers has caused humidity levels to spike, leaving residents across many districts uncomfortable. With no rain relief in most areas, sticky and irritating weather conditions have prevailed, especially during the daytime. Rewa and Jabalpur divisions saw the most rainfall activity, while the rest of the state experienced scattered or isolated showers at best.

 

Most stations in Rewa and Jabalpur divisions recorded rainfall, while Shahdol saw rain at many locations. A few areas in Narmadapuram, Chambal, and Sagar divisions received moderate rain.

Maximum temperatures fell sharply (4.4°C–5.3°C) in the districts of Rewa, Shahdol, and Sagar, and declined moderately (2.0°C–2.9°C) in Bhopal and Jabalpur.
