A low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal is set to intensify rainfall in eastern Madhya Pradesh on September 25-26, with the state already recording 34.3 inches of rain this season, slightly below average.
The India Meteorological Department has issued a heavy rain alert for the eastern districts of Madhya Pradesh for September 25 and 26. The warning follows the development of a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal, which is expected to draw additional moisture into the region as the monsoon draws to a close.
State officials note that cumulative rainfall to date stands at 34.3 inches, about 2.4 inches below the long‑term average for this period. Despite the shortfall, the impending system is likely to bring localized downpours, raising concerns for flood‑prone areas and agricultural fields.
Authorities have advised residents to remain vigilant, avoid low‑lying zones, and follow updates from local weather stations. Emergency services are on standby to respond to any water‑related incidents that may arise during the two‑day spell.
The alert underscores the variability of the monsoon's final phase, as the Bay of Bengal's influence continues to shape weather patterns across central India even after the official withdrawal of the monsoon season.
