These rains are attributed to a low pressure area which was over Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. Now the system is moving in an eastward direction but it will continue to impact central parts of the country for another 48 hours.
Meanwhile, light to moderate rainfall will continue to impact many parts of Madhya Pradesh. However, rain intensity will decrease by September 3. But parts of East Madhya Pradesh will continue to receive scattered rain. Many parts of Madhya Pradesh including Sagar, Satna, Damoh, Rewa, Siddhi, and Umaria are dependent on rains for agriculture. These rains will be helpful for standing crops as well.
