Monsoon Exits Rajasthan as Met Warns of Showers in East and South This Week
A westward-moving low over west Vidarbha is expected to trigger localized rain in southern districts, with heavier spells likely in the Udaipur division.
Overview
- IMD says the southwest monsoon fully withdrew from Rajasthan on Friday, shifting the state into mostly dry conditions.
- The withdrawal line on Saturday ran through Veraval, Bharuch, Ujjain, Jhansi and Shahjahanpur, marking the seasonal retreat.
- The Meteorological Centre forecasts rainfall over the next four to five days in parts of Kota, Udaipur, Bharatpur, Jaipur, Ajmer and Jodhpur divisions.
- Moderate to heavy showers are likely at isolated locations in southern districts, with some places in the Udaipur division flagged for heavier rain.
- The low-pressure area over west Vidarbha has become a well-marked system and is projected to move west across south Gujarat and Saurashtra, possibly re-emerging near the northeast Arabian Sea around October 1.
