IMD said, “A low-pressure area has formed near the Odisha coast in the Bay of Bengal. The western end of the Monsoon Trough lies in the foothills of the Himalayas, while the eastern end extends up to the low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal. Apart from this, Western Disturbance is also active. With these three weather systems being active, the process of arrival of moisture on a large scale has started. Due to this, there is a possibility of good rains in the whole of Madhya Pradesh.”
The low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal is moving in a northwest direction. Due to this, there is a possibility of rainfall in the districts of Jabalpur, Shahdol, Bhopal, Hoshangabad, Indore, and Sagar.
