The weather in Madhya Pradesh is changing fast. Days are bright and sunny, while nights are turning cool. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) says the monsoon will likely withdraw from the entire state within the next two to three days.
Eastern Madhya Pradesh may still see light drizzle for the next few days, but most parts will stay dry. No rainfall was recorded anywhere in the state on Wednesday.
Monsoon Gone from 12 Districts
The IMD confirmed that the monsoon has already withdrawn from 12 districts. These include Gwalior, Sheopur, Morena, Bhind, Datia, Shivpuri, Guna, Agar-Malwa, Neemuch, Mandsaur, Ratlam, and parts of Rajgarh and Ashoknagar.
In cities like Bhopal, Indore, Ujjain, and Gwalior, people are already feeling the shift. Days are hot under the sun, but nights are cool enough to need a light jacket.

Monsoon Performance Across MP
This monsoon season, Guna district received the highest rainfall, 65.6 inches. Mandla and Raisen followed with over 62 inches each. Sheopur and Ashoknagar got more than 56 inches.
On the lower end, Shajapur, Khargone, Khandwa, Barwani, and Dhar saw much less rain. Shajapur recorded 28.9 inches, Khargone 29.6 inches, Khandwa 32 inches, Barwani 33.5 inches, and Dhar 33.6 inches.
In Indore and Ujjain divisions, rainfall had been below normal for most of the season. Heavy rains in September changed that for Indore, allowing it to reach normal levels. Ujjain, however, still fell short.
Heavy Rains in the East and North
Eastern divisions like Jabalpur, Rewa, Sagar, and Shahdol witnessed strong rain systems. Several districts, Chhatarpur, Mandla, Tikamgarh, and Umaria, saw heavy downpours and even local flooding.
Gwalior-Chambal regions also exceeded their normal rainfall. All eight districts, Gwalior, Shivpuri, Guna, Ashoknagar, Bhind, Morena, Datia, and Sheopur, received above-average rainfall this year.
With the monsoon on its way out, Madhya Pradesh is stepping into a brief, pleasant phase. Sunshine by day and cool air by night mark the transition toward winter.
IMD officials say temperatures will keep dropping slowly in the coming week. By mid-October, mornings may start feeling crisp across central India.
