The monsoon season in Madhya Pradesh is set to end this week, with rain forecast for 19 districts on Wednesday and a gradual withdrawal expected from Ujjain and Gwalior divisions.
The Indian Meteorological Department has indicated that the monsoon spell over Madhya Pradesh will taper off by the first week of October. This week, the state is likely to see the first signs of withdrawal, beginning with the Ujjain and Gwalior divisions, where rainfall is expected to subside.
On Wednesday, meteorologists forecast showers across 19 districts of the state, marking one of the last widespread rain events before the season ends. Residents in the affected districts have been advised to stay prepared for localized flooding despite the overall weakening of the monsoon.
By October 3, the department projects that rainfall will be minimal across Madhya Pradesh, signalling the effective conclusion of the monsoon period for the year. Authorities will continue to monitor weather patterns to issue any further advisories if needed.
The gradual retreat of the monsoon is expected to benefit agricultural activities that rely on timely rains, while also allowing urban areas to resume normal operations after weeks of waterlogging.
Overall, the state moves toward a drier phase, with officials urging farmers to make the most of the remaining moisture for crop sowing and irrigation planning.
