Madhya Pradesh encountered isolated rainfall in the Indore and Ujjain divisions in the past 24 hours, with the rest of the state mostly dry. Thunderstorms with lightning were reported in Barwani, Jhabua, Ratlam, and Ujjain districts, with varying levels of rainfall recorded. Temperature trends showed above-normal conditions in different divisions, with maximum temperatures exceeding the usual range in several areas. The prevailing weather conditions are influenced by western disturbances over Pakistan and adjoining Rajasthan, leading to unsettled weather patterns and higher temperatures.
Night temperatures in various parts of the state remained above normal, with differences ranging from 1.9 to 4.7 degrees Celsius in different divisions. The IMD forecasts the possibility of rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning in isolated places in multiple districts until Thursday morning. Alerts have been issued for hailstorms, gusty winds, and lightning activity in specific districts, with precautions advised for residents and farmers. The extended forecast indicates scattered rainfall activity with a gradual decrease in intensity and above-normal temperatures expected to persist.
For Bhopal, clear skies are expected with moderate wind speeds. The maximum temperature is forecasted to be around 30 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature is expected to be approximately 16 degrees Celsius. Residents are advised to stay vigilant during thunderstorms, and farmers are urged to safeguard crops and livestock. The overall outlook suggests a continuation of warmer-than-normal conditions amidst intermittent weather disturbances.
