The monsoon has resumed, prompting a three‑day heavy rain warning for 15 districts of Madhya Pradesh, where cumulative rainfall has reached 31.5 inches, about 8 % below normal.
The Indian Meteorological Department announced on Saturday that a heavy‑rain alert will be in force for the next three days across fifteen districts of Madhya Pradesh. The warning follows a brief lull in the monsoon, after which rainfall activity has picked up again.
Statewide measurements show that 31.5 inches of rain have fallen so far this season, which is 2.7 inches (approximately 8 %) less than the long‑term average for the same period. Despite the shortfall, the current intensity has prompted authorities to caution residents and advise precautionary measures.
Local officials have urged people to avoid non‑essential travel, keep drainage systems clear, and stay updated with real‑time weather bulletins. The alert remains in effect until the end of the three‑day period, after which the department will reassess conditions.
No major disruptions have been reported yet, but the advisory aims to mitigate potential flooding in low‑lying areas and ensure public safety as the monsoon resumes its usual pattern across the state.
