Madhya Pradesh experienced heavy monsoon showers on Saturday, with Bhopal recording 65.2 mm of rainfall, bringing the city's total rainfall to 947.4 mm for the season, well below the normal of 1,050 mm. The ongoing rain after a nine-day dry spell in Indore provided much-needed relief, with around 18 mm of rainfall reported. Several districts across the state, including Bhopal, Narmadapuram, Ujjain, Gwalior, Chambal, Indore, Jabalpur, and Sagar divisions, recorded widespread rain over the last 24 hours.

The widespread rainfall is attributed to a low-pressure area over northwest Madhya Pradesh and a monsoon trough, driving the heavy rainfall across Central India.
