Bhopal, October 5 (Udaipur Kiran): As the monsoon season nears its end, several parts of Madhya Pradesh witnessed heavy rainfall on Sunday. The capital Bhopal and more than 15 districts recorded showers, with Betul receiving the highest rainfall — over 2 inches in just 9 hours.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Seoni and Sheopur recorded around 1.25 inches of rain, while Sagar, Narmadapuram, and Dhar received over half an inch. Continuous rainfall in Bhopal from the afternoon cooled down temperatures and brought pleasant weather across the city.
The IMD said the monsoon has withdrawn from 12 districts so far, including Gwalior, Morena, Sheopur, Bhind, Datia, Shivpuri, Guna, Agar-Malwa, Neemuch, Mandsaur, and Ratlam. The withdrawal process from the remaining districts is expected to complete by October 10.
On Sunday, rainfall was reported from Betul, Bhopal, Guna, Narmadapuram, Pachmarhi, Sheopur, Shivpuri, Shajapur, Sehore, Chhindwara, Damoh, Satna, Seoni, Balaghat, and Raisen. In Raisen, heavy rains led to waterlogging on main roads, with water levels rising over 1 foot in some areas.
The low-pressure area active over eastern Madhya Pradesh continues to trigger cloud formation and rain. This system is likely to persist for the next few days, bringing scattered showers before the final retreat of the monsoon.
The monsoon, which entered Madhya Pradesh on June 16 (a day later than usual), is now expected to linger slightly beyond the usual withdrawal date of October 6 due to the active weather systems.
While the season is ending, the recent spell has brought cooler temperatures, moisture, and freshness to the atmosphere, marking a pleasant farewell to the monsoon.
