As per Skymet Weather, the pre-Monsoon activities occurred due to the rise in day temperatures and formation of an induced cyclonic circulation over North Rajasthan and adjoining area. In fact, thunderclouds developed over northwest parts of Rajasthan and moved towards the east along the trough which was extending up to East Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
