DWRS would be functional in Bhopal by August, and subsequently in Gwalior, Indore and Jabalpur,state Met office director D P Dubey told reporters. He said that the land acquiring process was already underway near airports at the three places.
As soon as the land is acquired, the building and infrastructure process would start at three places, he said, adding "we have got a plan to complete remaining three within one to two years."
DWRS would be an automatic weather monitoring system covering 400 km radius at four centres and weather prediction would be much more accurate than today's system of observatory, Dubey said.
Under a national programme, DWRS were being set up in 55 cities including four in Madhya Pradesh, he said.
Meanwhile, as per national forecast, the south west monsoon will touch Kerala by June one, and it would normally reach Madhya Pradesh by mid-June, he said.
