These showers have been attributed to the presence of the cyclonic circulation over Northeast Madhya Pradesh which is expected to move westwards furthermore having the potential of developing into a low-pressure area. Also, the off-shore trough has become quite active along the West Coast adding to the enhancement of rainfall activity.
