The monsoon season in Madhya Pradesh concluded with a total rainfall of 35.8 inches, about 4% below the long‑term average. Forecasts indicate sunny, hot weather from Oct 4‑6, followed by light showers in the eastern districts from Oct 7 onward.
Madhya Pradesh officially marked the end of the monsoon season, recording 35.8 inches of rainfall for the period. This total is roughly four percent lower than the climatological average for the state, indicating a slightly drier season overall.
The state meteorological department has issued a short‑term outlook: clear skies and rising temperatures are expected from October 4 to October 6 across most of the region. Starting October 7, the forecast shifts to the eastern districts, where light showers are likely to develop as residual moisture moves inland.
Western parts of Madhya Pradesh are expected to remain dry, with no significant precipitation anticipated in the coming days. The reduced rainfall and the upcoming dry spell may influence agricultural activities, particularly for crops that depend on post‑monsoon moisture, and could affect water reservoir levels ahead of the winter season.
