Despite Tuesday's heavy downpour, the city's cumulative rainfall since June 1 remains below average. As of 6:30pm Tuesday, the city recorded 96.25 mm (approximately 3.8 inches) of rainfall, while the seasonal average by this time is around 5 inches. Weatherman said the current active system could help bridge the shortfall in the coming days.
The maximum temperature in city on Tuesday was recorded at 27.6 degrees Celsius, 6 degrees below normal, while the minimum was recorded at 22.8 degrees Celsius, slightly below the season's average, bringing much-needed relief from the recent heat.
The regional meteorological office has forecast continued heavy rainfall for the next two days in Indore and surrounding areas. The active weather system is attributed to a trough line passing over Madhya Pradesh, which has brought rainfall to several districts, including Indore and Ujjain.
"Dewas, Dhar, and Shajapur in Indore-Ujjain division are expected to witness isolated heavy rainfall on Wednesday. Rainfall activity will continue for the next four days. Some parts of central to eastern areas of Madhya Pradesh are expected to witness heavy rainfall during these days," said Met scientist from IMD Bhopal Dr Divya E Surendran.
