Madhya Pradesh has received 88.7% of its expected monsoon rainfall by the end of August, with 33.1 inches of rain so far this season. This is well above the normal 37.3 inches. Most districts have recorded normal or above-normal rainfall. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts more rain in the last week of September before the monsoon retreats.
As of the morning of September 18, rain is expected in many districts including Bhopal, Raisen, Sehore, and others. No alerts for heavy rainfall are in place for this period. While some districts may experience heavy rain due to localized weather systems, a monsoon trough and low-pressure area are currently affecting the upper parts of the state and the Arabian Sea.
The monsoon season officially runs until September 30, with around 13 days remaining before its official end. However, the monsoon may withdraw from certain parts of Madhya Pradesh by early October. The IMD expects another period of rainfall in the last week of September, although no major rain alerts have been issued for the state until September 20.
