Additionally, a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal is likely to bring beneficial conditions to Madhya Pradesh in the next two days, resulting in heavy rainfall across the state,” said BS Yadav, a meteorologist with the regional met department, Bhopal.

In Bhopal, significant rainfall is expected today and tomorrow, though it may decrease slightly afterward, Yadav added.
