A strong weather system brought heavy rainfall across 22 districts of Madhya Pradesh today, with Jabalpur recording the highest intensity as the storm moves towards Bhopal and Gwalior.
A robust low‑pressure system swept across Madhya Pradesh this morning, unleashing heavy rain in 22 districts, including Jabalpur, Seoni, and Narsinghpur. Meteorological officials said the system intensified over the central plateau, delivering rainfall rates of up to 50 mm per hour in some locations.
Local authorities in Jabalpur have issued advisories urging residents to avoid low‑lying areas and to secure property against waterlogging. Several schools were temporarily closed, and traffic on major highways such as NH-30 faced delays due to flooded stretches.
The India Meteorological Department forecasts that the system will retain its strength as it drifts eastward, affecting Bhopal, Gwalior and surrounding districts later today. Citizens are advised to stay updated with weather alerts and to take precautionary measures against possible flash floods.
