Now the low-pressure area is over Northeast Madhya Pradesh, and during last 24 hours, moderate to heavy rain occurred over most parts of Madhya Pradesh as well as over parts of South Rajasthan and Gujarat. Western part of Madhya Pradesh will continue to get moderate to heavy rain for another 24 to 48 hours. Rain activities will also be intense over northern and Eastern parts of Madhya Pradesh. Southeast and South Rajasthan as well as parts of Gujarat may also receive good rain.
