The state capital was hit by rainfall in the wee hours and light showers continued intermittently till Tuesday afternoon, turning the day weather quite cold. The met office has said since moisture is being fed into state both from the Bay and Bengal and the Arabian Sea, rainfall and even hail would be recorded in several parts of state including Bhopal on Wednesday too. The cloud cover is expected to last for another two days.

Areas in central and eastern MP are likely to be affected more as the weak circulation system that was over west MP on Monday has moved towards central MP.

"The system is weak, but it is still pulling in a lot of moisture, which would cause rainfall during the next 24 hours. The state will continue to have overcast skies for some more time. We are also expecting some hail during the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday," director of Regional Meteorological Centre, DP Dubey told HT.
