A strong monsoon has boosted Kharif sowing and rural spending in central India. This report looks at how rainfall trends are driving agriculture, inflation, and local markets.
Madhya Pradesh will see continued rainfall for five days due to multiple active weather systems. The Met Department has issued heavy rain alerts in several areas.
The monsoon will arrive in Madhya Pradesh after June 10 due to a stalled weather system in Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh. Until then, pre-monsoon storms and rain will affect 50 districts, including major cities like Bhopal and Indore.
Indore recorded 114.8 mm of rainfall in May 2025, breaking a 139-year record. Rainfall and storms hit 53 districts in Madhya Pradesh due to active weather systems.
The 2025 monsoon is likely to reach Madhya Pradesh ahead of schedule. Meteorologists expect 38–39 inches of rainfall this season—above the state average.
Monsoon arrived in Maharashtra ten days early, bringing heavy rain, flooding, and 80 km/h winds to Mumbai and Pune. Cloudbursts in Pune flooded 200 houses. Kerala and northeastern states are also affected.
Monsoon may enter Madhya Pradesh around June 15, starting from southern districts. It is expected to spread across the state in 10 days, aiding early crop sowing and bringing relief from summer heat.
