Madhya Pradesh is bracing for heavy rainfall over the next 24 hours, with 15 districts including Tikamgarh, Panna and Narsinghpur under an orange alert for extremely heavy rain. The Vindhya, Bundelkhand and Mahakaushal regions are likely to experience the brunt of the storm.
As of August 19, the state has received 573.1 mm of rainfall this monsoon season, falling short of the normal 651.4 mm by 12%. Several districts, particularly in the eastern part, have recorded rainfall deficits of up to 19%, while some western districts are lagging by 9%.
Meteorologists attribute the heavy rains to a depression active over Jharkhand on August 18. The system is expected to shift towards central and western Madhya Pradesh between August 20 and 24. If the current rainfall pattern persists, the state could recover much of its deficit and meet its normal rainfall quota.
