Even now, a low pressure area which had originated over North Bay of Bengal is affecting the state. The system has already given heavy to very heavy rains over central and southern parts of Madhya Pradesh. Now, the system will move further west and weaken gradually. Now, moderate to heavy showers will continue over West Madhya Pradesh for another 24 hours.

Thereafter, northern districts of the state will continue to witness good rains for subsequent 24 hours or so. Thereafter, due to northward shifting of the axis of Monsoon trough, rains will reduce over southern and central districts of the state.
