Pre-monsoon showers to wash Indore today

This list includes Indore, Sagar, Bhopal, Ujjain along with Jabalpur and Hoshangabad divisions. Isolated showers and strong winds have already announced the upcoming arrival of the monsoon winds in several parts of the state. The pre-monsoon jitters will gain more strength today, read reports.
Pleasant evening in store for Indore
As analysed by the experts, the rain activity witnessed a recession over the past few days due to null activity in the Arabian Sea or the Bay of Bengal. Consequently, the trade winds did not progress as expected over the marked area over the weekend. However, from Monday onwards, rains and gusty winds are set to envelop Indore and surrounding areas. The wind speed is expected to pick up pace up to 20 km/h later in the day, thereby making the evening a pleasant one for Indoris. The maximum and minimum temperatures here will shuttle between 37°C to 23°C today.
