Monsoon advances, brings respite from soaring temp
Indore: The south-west monsoon progressed further in Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday, advancing into northern and central districts, including Neemuch, Mandsaur, Ratlam and Ujjain. The advancement brought much-needed relief from the summer heat as many parts of the state experienced thunderstorms and moderate to heavy rainfall. In western MP, showers were especially intense in Mandsaur, Ratlam and Barwani on Wednesday. During the last 24 hours, Anjad in Barwani recorded the highest rainfall at 20 mm, followed by Alot (17 mm), Manasa (16 mm), Rama (13.2 mm), and Jawad (13 mm). Rainfall also continued in Indore, Dhar, Ujjain and adjoining regions. According to the Meteorological Department, rainfall activity is likely to intensify further due to four active weather systems currently influencing the region. "Currently, a low-pressure area over Gujarat and adjoining regions, coupled with cyclonic circulation, western disturbance and trough activity, are influencing weather patterns. These systems are expected to maintain rainy conditions over Madhya Pradesh for the next four days," said Dr Divya E. Surendran, senior meteorologist. On Wednesday, Indore experienced cloudy skies with light rainfall and a noticeable drop in temperature. The maximum temperature settled at 31.4 degrees Celsius, which is four degrees below normal, while the evening temperature dipped further to 27 degrees Celsius. Relative humidity remained high at 89%, contributing to the sultry conditions. Winds blew from the south-southwest at the speed of 20 km/hour. According to the Meteorological Department, the city recorded only 3 mm rainfall in the past 24 hours but more showers are expected in the coming days due to active monsoon systems. Seasonal rainfall so far stands at 16.5 mm, which is still below the average for this period. The Met Office has issued alerts for possible heavy rainfall in several districts over the next 24 hours, with isolated areas potentially receiving over 4 inches of rain. Seasonal rainfall for Indore currently stands at 13.5 mm, still 62.5 mm below average. As the monsoon continues to advance, residents across MP can expect cooler weather but authorities are also cautioning citizens to remain alert in areas prone to waterlogging and strong winds.

If Team India win first test vs England, Shubman Gill will create history, he shall become...
Shubman Gill. (PIC - X) New Delhi: Team India is ready to start the England tour. The series will begin with the match to be held at Headingley from June 20. This will also be Gill's first Test as captain. This young batsman will hope to start his captaincy debut with a win. Gill also has a chance to create history in this match. If Team India wins this Test, Gill will create history. He will do such a feat which even MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli could not do under their captaincy. Team India will play with the intention of winning: India is set to begin the difficult challenge of emerging victorious on English soil for the first time since 2007. The Shubman Gill-led side will play the first Test against hosts England at the Headingley Cricket Ground in Headingley. According to AccuWeather, the first day of the Test on Friday will be the hottest of the five days, with the temperature expected to rise to 30 degrees Celsius. However, the temperature will be almost the same on Saturday, but strong winds will blow from the south at a speed of 17 kmph. Sunday will be quite eventful on the pitch, with Leeds expected to be cloudy, with a cloud cover of 91%. Strong winds of 54 kmph are expected. The temperature will drop to 21 and 23 degrees on the fourth and fifth days. There is a 25 per cent chance of rain on both days. This information came out about the pitch: In the 22 matches since Brendon McCullum was appointed head coach in 2022, the team that has opted to field first has won on 9 out of 15 occasions, while losing on 6 occasions to bat first. Mid-series Tests are usually arranged at Leeds, but with the opening matches being played at this venue, Leeds chief groundsman Richard Robinson spoke to Cricinfo. He told that the wicket will give initial seam and bounce on the first day, but will potentially become flat, which will help the batsmen a bit. India's hat-trick will be completed! India played their first match at this ground in 1952, in which they had to face defeat by seven wickets. Since then, they have participated in seven matches at this ground, out of which they have been victorious only twice, while one match has been a draw. In such a situation, if Team India wins the upcoming match, then it will make a hat-trick of victories on this ground. Shubman Gill has a chance to create history: The team's two victories on this ground were under the captaincy of Kapil Dev in 1986 and Sourav Ganguly in 2002. In such a situation, if Gill wins the upcoming Test, he will become only the third captain of India to win a Test on this ground after Kapil Dev and Ganguly. Dhoni and Kohli also failed to make India win the match on this ground under their captaincy. India played its last Test here in 2021 with Virat Kohli as the captain, in which it lost by an innings and 76 runs. Other information related to the match: The India-England first Test will be played at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds. The India-England first Test will start on Friday, June 20. The match is scheduled to start at 3:30 pm IST. The India-England first Test will be broadcasted on Sony Sports Network, while the live stream will be available on JioHotstar.
