- Heavy rains and strong winds forecasted
Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh is currently experiencing an intense spell of monsoonal rainfall as the weather system remains highly active across the state. The Meteorological Department has issued an alert, predicting widespread heavy showers and strong winds for numerous districts.
Widespread rain alert for Wednesday
Forecasters indicate a high probability of significant rainfall on Wednesday across districts including Indore, Dewas, Mauganj, Satna, Katni, Jabalpur, Narsinghpur, Bhopal, and Vidisha. These downpours are expected to be accompanied by brisk winds, gusting between 30 to 40 km/h. Residents across the entire state have been advised to stay alert.
Complex weather systems fueling monsoon activity
Meteorological scientists explain that the intensified monsoon activity is due to several active weather systems. A cyclonic circulation in the upper atmosphere is currently positioned over the central regions of Southern Uttar Pradesh, extending up to 5.8 km above mean sea level and tilting southward with height.
Furthermore, a trough extends from this cyclonic circulation over Southern Uttar Pradesh to the Northwest Bay of Bengal, passing through Northeast Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and North Odisha at an altitude of 1.5 km above mean sea level. Two additional upper air cyclonic circulations are also contributing to the conditions: one over Saurashtra and Kutch at 3.1 km above mean sea level, and another over the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal, off the North Coastal Andhra Pradesh and South Odisha coasts, active between 5.8 and 7.6 km above mean sea level. These combined systems are driving the widespread and heavy rainfall across the region.
