Bhopal in July
Madhya Pradesh, India
Old city neighborhoods face serious flood risk during peak monsoon downpours
July fills Bhojtal back up. The city greens dramatically but the old city lanes flood regularly. Bhimbetka cave paintings are fine — the shelters were designed for rain 30,000 years ago.
