The increase in seasonal rainfall in the eastern region, comprising Jabalpur, Rewa, Sagar, and Shahdol, rose by 3% for the first time this season. Bhopal experienced incessant rains on Krishna Janmashtami, with the downpour starting in the city's outskirts on Thursday night and persisting until early hours of Saturday. After a brief respite of 3 to 4 hours, the rains resumed around 11 am on Saturday.
The Upper Lake in Bhopal was completely filled during the heavy rainfall, prompting the opening of the gates of Bhadbhada Dam to alleviate the pressure.
