Many parts of Madhya Pradesh are witnessing moderate rains with occasional heavy to very heavy spells since the second half of July. These rains are beneficial for restoring groundwater and the reservoirs have also reached their mark. Since these rains are continuing without any extended break, therefore these rains are also damaging the crops.
The reason for such continuous rains can be attributed to the successive weather systems such as a Low-Pressure Area, Cyclonic Circulation and Depression. These systems originate over west-central and north Bay of Bengal and then travel further towards the West impacting Madhya Pradesh.
Now, the current Low-Pressure Area has weakened, and rains will be now fewer. We can see scattered rain and thundershowers over West Madhya Pradesh. However, there will be a significant drop in rainfall activities on August 28 and 29 with solely isolated activities in sight.
Another spell of good rains is expected over East Madhya Pradesh on August 30 in wake of a new Low-Pressure Area which is likely to form in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Gradually, many more parts of Madhya Pradesh will start experiencing rains and these rain spell may last up to September 2 or September 3. The new Low-Pressure Area will give light to moderate rains with few heavy spells, but very heavy rains are ruled out. So, the threat of flooding seems to be out of sight for now.
Places like Jabalpur, Damoh, Sagar, Satna, Bhopal, Dewas, Betul, Guna, and Mandla are very likely to witness moderate rains with isolated heavy spells between August 30 to September 2.
