Madhya Pradesh is bracing for a potential drought as the El Nino effect is expected to result in below-average rainfall this monsoon. The Meteorological Center predicts only 30-32 inches of rain compared to the usual 37 inches, affecting 47 districts. While pre-monsoon activities brought temporary relief from the heat in areas like Bhind and Damoh, the main monsoon is delayed and expected to arrive in MP around June 18-20.
