1 2 Nagpur: Monsoon activity resumed over Nagpur after a seven-day break with many areas receiving good rainfall for nearly two hours on Thursday. However, the RMC surface observatory at Sonegaon recorded just 4mm of rainfall, probably due to fewer showers in parts of southwest Nagpur. Strong spells lashed the rest of the city and even the outskirts, leaving many roads and colonies waterlogged within a short time. Besides Nagpur, Gondia recorded 23mm of rainfall, while precipitation also occurred over Chandrapur, Bramhapuri, and Wardha. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a series of weather warnings highlighting active monsoon conditions over Vidarbha and Nagpur during from July 17 to 23. The week is expected to witness varying intensities of rainfall, and thunderstorms. On Friday, the region is likely to experience thunderstorms with lightning, accompanied by gusty winds at isolated places. Fairly widespread rainfall is expected over some parts of Vidarbha. IMD scientist posted at RMC Nagpur, Rizwan Ahmed, said, "A depression is located over northeast Madhya Pradesh adjoining southeast Uttar Pradesh.
