Time of India5 days ago
Indore: Scattered moderate rainfall across Indore on Tuesday afternoon brought much-needed relief from an unusually dry July, a month that typically sees peak monsoon activity.
The day began with mostly clear skies but, by noon, dark clouds rolled in swiftly and many localities across the city experienced showers of varying intensity.
Meteorological department said 4.8 mm of rainfall was recorded till 5:30 pm on Tuesday. Rainfall in eastern parts of Indore was higher compared to western parts. Many parts of the city reported continuous drizzle in the afternoon and evening hours. The showers led to a noticeable drop in day temperature from 32.8 degrees Celsius on Monday to 29.2 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, aligning with the season's normal range.
Humidity levels remained high throughout the day, recorded at 90% both at 8:30am and 5:30pm. Seasonal rainfall for the city now stands at 191.9 mm, still 147.4 mm short of the average for July. Typically, the city receives around 305 mm of rainfall in July over an average of 13 rainy days. The Met station at Indore recorded a total of 19 mm rainfall from Monday till Tuesday morning, while the weather observatory at College of Agriculture Indore recorded 44 mm of rainfall from Monday morning till Tuesday morning.

Tuesday's rainfall was triggered by active cyclonic circulation system over Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh coupled with an active monsoon trough line. "A new low-pressure area is also forming over the Bay of Bengal, expected to intensify by July 24, which could further enhance rainfall activity in Madhya Pradesh, especially in the Malwa region. Light to moderate rainfall is expected to continue over western MP for the next 24 hours.
From July 24, isolated heavy and very heavy rainfall is likely to be experienced in eastern MP," said Met scientist from IMD Bhopal Dr Divya Surendran.
Ujjain and other parts of western MP are also experiencing varied rain patterns. Ujjain recorded 54 mm of rainfall in the last 24 hours.

Turkey battles raging wildfires as record heat prompts mass evacuations

Firefighters battled wildfires across Turkey on Sunday amid a searing Mediterranean heatwave, with authorities evacuating more than 3,600 people from settlements in two provinces. read more A wildfire rages across a forested area near Cavuslar village, in Karabuk district, northwest Turkey, Wednesday, July 23, 2025. (Ridvan Bostanci/IHA via AP) Firefighters in Turkey continued to battle multiple wildfires on Sunday as a blistering Mediterranean heatwave forced the evacuation of over 3,600 residents across several provinces. The blazes, fuelled by record-breaking temperatures erupted in the southern regions of Mersin and Antalya and the central province of Usak, with officials reporting that these fires were largely under control. However, fires still raged in the northwestern province of Bursa and the northern province of Karabuk, Agriculture and Forestry Minister Ibrahim Yumakli said during a press briefing. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A major fire ignited Saturday in the forested areas between Gursu and Kestel districts in Bursa, a region central to Turkey's automobile industry. The blaze forced a temporary closure of a highway linking Istanbul with the western city of Izmir on Saturday night. Videos showed towering flames consuming trees near residential areas in Bursa, with thick plumes of smoke blanketing the skies. Authorities evacuated around 1,765 people from Kestel district as more than 2,000 firefighters, aided by six planes and four helicopters, worked to contain the spread. In the northern province of Karabuk, where a large wildfire has been burning for five days, 1,839 people in 19 villages were evacuated, Yumakli said. Three planes and 16 helicopters are tackling the blazes in the area amid difficult conditions, he added. 'We are going through risky times. This does not seem likely to end in two or three days,' Yumakli said, referring to the heat-wave. Temperatures in several regions in Turkey were forecast to reach over 40 degrees Celsius on Sunday, 6 to 12 degrees above seasonal norms, Turkey's meteorological service said, as thermometers hit 50 degrees Celsius in the country's southeast on Saturday for the first time in recorded history.
