The monsoon is expected to reach Madhya Pradesh by June 15. It will first enter the southern districts—Balaghat, Seoni, Mandla, Betul, and Burhanpur—and then spread across the entire state in about 10 days.
On Tuesday, the monsoon reached the Andaman Islands. From there, it will gradually move north and west, eventually covering central India.
According to the Meteorological Department, this year’s early signs point to a normal arrival timeline. Once the monsoon hits MP, rainfall will increase in most parts of the state.
The current rain in the state is not due to the monsoon. It is linked to western disturbances, cyclonic systems, and turf formations.
In recent years, the monsoon has arrived in MP between June 10 and June 20. In 2023, it reached by June 15 and covered the state in about 10 days. A similar pattern is expected this year.
Farmers and residents in rain-fed regions are closely watching the monsoon timeline. Early rainfall can help with sowing, while delays can affect crop planning.
While rain is expected in the coming days, real monsoon conditions—consistent rain, high humidity, and wind changes—will likely start after June 15.
