Madhya Pradesh Rain
Madhya Pradesh rain activity has increased again after a three-day break, with the IMD forecasting heavy rain in several districts. The rain has raised water levels and humidity in many areas. During the monsoon, snakes are often spotted near residential areas as water can force them out of their usual hiding places in fields, drains and covered spaces. This can also lead to incidents like the python rescue in Madhya Pradesh.
