Light rain and drizzle over the past two days have brought relief from the heat, yet precipitation remains well below expectations.
Several parts of the city witnessed a sharp downpour on Thursday morning, raising hopes of an all-day rainy spell. However, the showers lasted barely half an hour before bright sunshine returned, leaving residents disappointed.
According to the Meteorological Department, the city recorded 1.6 mm of rainfall in the last 24 hours, while only 0.3 mm was recorded by Thursday evening.
The weather observatory at the airport reported a maximum temperature of 30.5 degrees Celsius, 2 degrees above normal, while the minimum temperature was 27.3 degrees Celsius. At 5.30 pm, the temperature stood at 23.8 degrees Celsius with 81% relative humidity. Winds blew from the west-northwest at 21 kmph.
Meteorologists said the low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal has moved further inland, reducing the chances of heavy rainfall over the Indore division for now. Over the next 24 hours, only isolated light showers or drizzle are expected due to local weather conditions.
