Jaipur has been observing very heavy rains. In a span of 24 hours from 8.30 am on Thursday, the city has recorded 42 mm of rain. And looking at the weather models there are chances of extremely heavy rain for the next 24-48 hours. Three-digit rainfall can not be ruled out either during this period.
The Well Marked Low-Pressure Area is lying over Northeast Rajasthan and adjoining Northwest Madhya Pradesh which is forcing some heavy rain in Jaipur city.
According to the rainfall data available with Skymet from June 1 to August 15 Jaipur has received 508 mm of rain against the normal of 348 mm which is 46% excess. And in the month of August so far the city has already recorded 203 mm of rain against the average of 206 mm.
This season East Rajasthan has been the rainiest pocket with 36% of excess rain so far. Interestingly, out of the 23 districts in the region 22 are in excess barring Alwar. Some of the districts that have observed excess rain are Jaipur, Kota, Ajmer, Jhunjhunu, Sikar and Dholpur.
Good rainfall in the region during this period usually happens due to the oscillation of the Trough and the Low-Pressure Area moving up to West Madhya Pradesh and East Rajasthan.
Currently, both the systems are acting in tandem to give heavy rain in Jaipur. As mentioned above, this activity will continue in the city for at least the next 24 hours.
