Temp stays above normal as rainfall deficit persists

Indore: Despite a heavy rainfall alert, the monsoon remained subdued in Indore on Sunday, with the city witnessing only cloudy skies and light drizzle. After a cloudy morning, the afternoon cleared up, allowing sunlight to return and pushing the day's maximum temperature to 32.2 degrees Celsius, four degrees above normal. The minimum temperature was recorded at 23.2 degrees Celsius, one degree above normal. At 5:30 pm, the temperature stood at 30.8 degrees Celsius with 74 percent humidity. Rainfall activity was negligible, with only 1.2 mm recorded in the past 24 hours. Seasonal rainfall in Indore now stands at 352.8 mm, which is 243.7 mm below normal. This translates to roughly 14 inches of rainfall so far, about seven inches less than what is expected by this time of the monsoon. Weather experts warned that only consistent showers in the latter half of August can help bridge this gap. On Saturday, light showers brought down the day temperature to 28.1 degrees Celsius, but by Sunday, the heat returned with intermittent spells of sunshine. The cloudy and humid conditions throughout the day provided little respite, leaving residents hopeful for heavier rains.

However, Indore has so far witnessed only weak rainfall activity from these systems. A major shift is expected after August 18, when a fresh low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal is likely to strengthen and move inland. Meteorologists believe this system could bring widespread rain to Madhya Pradesh, including Malwa and Indore, between August 18 and 20.
