The monsoon in Chhattisgarh is currently weak, leading to a halt in rain for the past two days. This has resulted in humid heat affecting residents.
The Meteorological Department predicts relief from this discomfort will come in about two days, with heavy rain expected in some districts of the Surguja division.
