Rainfall likely to return to region from Aug 14: Met
Indore: After more than 10 days of dry weather, the Meteorological Department has predicted the return of rainfall to the region from August 14, owing to the development of a low-pressure system over the northwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal around August 13. The system is expected to revive monsoon activity, bringing much-needed relief from prevailing heat and humidity. In the last 24 hours from Saturday morning to Sunday morning, Indore reported only 0.1 mm of rainfall. During the dry spell, temperatures in Indore rose notably above normal. On Sunday, the maximum temperature was recorded at 31.1 degrees Celsius, three degrees above average, while the minimum temperature stood at 22.6 degrees Celsius, one degree above normal. The persistent absence of rain, coupled with high daytime temperatures, resulted in warm and humid conditions across the city. By 5:30pm, the temperature was 26.8 degrees Celsius, with relative humidity at 84% and winds blowing from the west-northwest at 12 km/h. The synoptic situation shows the monsoon trough passing through parts of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Arunachal Pradesh.
