Rajasthan Reels Under Resurging Rainfall

Rainfall has returned to Rajasthan with renewed intensity, bringing much-needed respite to the parched regions. Saepau in Dholpur recorded the state's highest rainfall at 117.0 mm in the last 24 hours, according to the Meteorological Department.

This resurgence is due to an evolving weather system over the Bay of Bengal, which has developed into a well-marked low-pressure area. While Eastern Rajasthan has seen light to moderate rains, the western parts remained largely dry. However, the weather system is poised to change this, promising further precipitation in the coming days.

The Met Department forecasts increasing rainfall in Eastern Rajasthan starting August 15, with Western regions experiencing similar patterns from August 16. Areas like Kota and Udaipur are on alert for heavy rainfall from August 15 to 18, while a broader range, including Jaipur, Bharatpur, Ajmer, and other divisions, expect rain until August 21.
