Naiduniya Representative, Bhopal: The low pressure area situated over Odisha has entered Madhya Pradesh within 24 hours crossing Chhattisgarh at a fast pace. This weather system, which still exists as a low pressure area, is situated over eastern Madhya Pradesh, while the monsoon trough is also passing through the state.
Due to the effect of the low pressure area trough, a large amount of moisture is coming from the Bay of Bengal. Due to this effect, many parts of the state, especially the eastern and southern parts, are getting drenched. Heavy rain was recorded in Jabalpur and Narsinghpur on Monday morning, while heavy rain occurred in Seoni during the day on Monday.
Low pressure area formed over the state
Meteorologists have predicted heavy rainfall in some parts of Sagar, Jabalpur, Shahdol, Narmadapuram and Bhopal divisions in eastern Madhya Pradesh, while other parts of the state will receive moderate rainfall. Former senior scientist of the Meteorological Department, Ajay Shukla, said that the low pressure area formed over the state may return or weaken at the same place.
But during this process, a large amount of moisture will keep coming in the state for 24 to 48 hours. Here, the monsoon trough is passing through Sagar, Mandla and passing through the low pressure area to the Bay of Bengal, due to which good rainfall will continue for the next two days.
