Hello sunshine! Indoreans see clear sky after a week
Indore: Despite a yellow alert for heavy rainfall issued for Friday, Indore received only 0.6 mm of rain during the day, as the weather cleared up by the afternoon. After nearly a week of overcast skies and intermittent showers, the city experienced sunshine again, leading to a significant rise in the maximum temperature, which reached 30.5 degrees Celsius, three degrees below normal but still the highest in recent days.
For the past week, daytime temperatures remained between 25 degrees Celsius and 28 degrees Celsius due to continuous cloud cover and rainfall. On Friday evening at 5:30 PM, the temperature stood at 27.8 degrees Celsius. Humidity was recorded at 81% in the evening hours on Friday, and winds blew from the southwest at a speed of 15 kmph. Morning humidity remained high at 98%.
Indore received overnight rainfall on Thursday, summing the rainfall recorded in 24 hours to 68.5 mm.
On Thursday, the city recorded 46.4 mm of rainfall till 8:30 PM, and 22.4 mm of rainfall was recorded overnight in Indore. In the last 24 hours till Friday morning, Dewas received a substantial 125 mm of rainfall. Meghnagar in Jhabua recorded 123 mm of rainfall, followed by 107 mm in Badnawar of Dhar, 106 mm in Mandsaur, and 98 mm in Hatpipaliya (Dewas).
The rainfall brought down local temperatures and led to increased water levels in regional streams and rivers.
Heavy rains continued to affect other parts of the Malwa and Nimar regions. In Khargone, the Sirvel waterfall on the Kunda river began flowing again after days of consistent rain. In Ratlam's Sailana area, the Kedarnath waterfall—usually active in July or August—was gushing with full force after two inches of rainfall in the last 24 hours, pushing the seasonal total to 304 mm.
However, the rainfall also caused disruptions.
In Mandsaur, a youth on a two-wheeler fell into an open chamber on Station Road during waterlogging caused by one and a half hours of downpour. In Jaora, roads turned into rivers after 76 mm of rain in just 30 minutes. Water overflowed from rooftops and flooded lower colonies in Mandsaur, prompting the municipal team to operate pump houses for hours.
According to IMD scientist Dr Divya E Surendran, two active weather systems—a trough from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal and a cyclonic circulation over northeast Madhya Pradesh—are expected to keep the monsoon vigorous across the state for at least five more days.
