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.

Bengal to get more rain; South Bengal districts on Yellow alert
Written by Anisha Ghosh The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a Yellow alert (Be Aware) for most South Bengal districts on Sunday afternoon. The weather bureau predicted light to moderate rainfall with possible thunderstorms in South Bengal districts like Howrah, Hooghly, North and South 24 Parganas, East and West Midnapore, Jhargram, Bankura, Purulia, East and West Bardhaman, Birbhum, Murshidabad, Nadia, and Kolkata. State capital Kolkata experienced overcast conditions on Sunday, but there was only 0.4 mm of rainfall in the last 24 hours. The city recorded a maximum temperature of 30.4 degree Celsius and a minimum of 26.2 degree Celsius on Sunday. Humidity levels were on the higher side, ranging from 83 per cent to 100 per cent. Meanwhile, the IMD has put North Bengal districts like Jalpaiguri and Alipurduar under an Orange alert (Be Prepared), expecting heavy to very heavy rainfall (7-20 cm) on Sunday. Darjeeling, Cooch Behar, and Kalimpong are under a Yellow alert and are likely to witness light to moderate rainfall. Warnings have been issued for possible lightning and local flooding in low-lying areas across the region. In its bulletin, the IMD also stated that a 'trough runs from cyclonic circulation associated with the well-marked low-pressure area over northwest Madhya Pradesh and neighbourhood to northeast Bangladesh across northeast Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and north Gangetic West Bengal between 0.9 to 5.8 km above mean sea level.' Under the influence of this strong monsoon flow, widespread light to moderate rainfall is very likely to continue over West Bengal, with heavy rainfall activity expected at one or two places in some districts over the next few days.

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.
