These include Shahdol, Rewa, Katni, Balaghat, Dindori, Panna, Umaria, Sidhi, Singrauli, and Satna. The monsoon remained highly active in these regions, with rainfall well above average.

★ Districts like Bhopal, Rajgarh, Mandla, Sagar, Jabalpur, Narsinghpur, Ratlam, Jhabua, Gwalior, Guna, and Shajapur witnessed above-normal rainfall. These areas benefitted from ample precipitation, boosting water sources and agricultural activities.
★ The seasonal rainfall quota has been fulfilled here.
~~~~~~
Districts with normal rainfall
★ Districts such as Khandwa, Gwalior, Ashoknagar, Sheopur, Morena, and Niwari recorded normal rainfall. The monsoon remained steady, and weather conditions were balanced.
★ This is favorable for Kharif crops.
~~~~~~~
Districts with deficient rainfall
★ Districts including Indore, Ujjain, Dewas, Dhar, Alirajpur, Agar Malwa, and parts of Khandwa received below-normal rainfall. The slow monsoon progress led to poor soil moisture, adversely affecting Kharif crop sowing.
~~~~~~~~
Districts with large deficient rainfall
★ Barwani, Khargone, and Burhanpur are in the most concerning situation, having recorded significantly below-normal rainfall.
If rainfall does not improve in the coming weeks, these districts may face drought-like conditions.
★ The eastern, northeastern, and southeastern parts of Madhya Pradesh have benefitted from abundant rainfall. In contrast, the western and west-central districts—especially Indore, Dhar, Khargone, and Barwani—are experiencing serious rainfall deficits. If this trend continues, these regions may face water scarcity and a decline in crop production.
