Southwest Monsoon has been active over Uttar Pradesh during last 24 hours.  In fact, eastern parts of the state have seen few spells of heavy showers as well. Moderate to heavy showers have occurred over East Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha as well.

The fresh low pressure area over North Bay of Bengal, off Odisha coast, will intensify rains over East India including Odisha. On the other hand, the low pressure area over Southeast Uttar Pradesh and adjoining areas will enhance rains over the state along with Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh.

In a span of 24 hours, from 8.30 am on Monday, Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh received 71 mm of rainfall.
