The state of Rajasthan is the last state to welcome Southwest Monsoon and the same is still awaited. However, most parts of the state are witnessing pre-Monsoon activities in the form of rain, thundershowers and dust storms for the last two to three days.
On the last day also, many places of the desert state recorded scattered rains and the intensity varied from light to isolated moderate. Within the span of 24 hours, from 08:30 am on Monday, Sawai Madhopur recorded the most 52 mm of heavy rains, followed by Mount Abu at 26 mm, Sikar 17 mm, Bikaner 9 mm, Udaipur 7 mm, Pilani 4 mm, Chittorgarh 4 mm, Bundi 2 mm, and Churu recorded 0.8 mm of rains.
These rains were due to the cyclonic circulation prevailing over South Gujarat and North Maharashtra explains the weathermen at Skymet Weather. These weather systems were responsible for increasing moisture over the region from Southeast Arabian Sea, thus, resulting in rains.

As of now also, scattered rains are likely to continue over parts of East Rajasthan in cities like Jaipur, Sikar, Ajmer, Alwar, Churu, Kota Chittorgarh and Bundi. The temperatures are also expected to remain on a lower side and may hover around 40 degrees Celsius in a few parts of the state.
Skymet Weather further reiterates that conditions are favorable for the advancement of Southwest Monsoon as it may mark its onset over parts of Rajasthan in the next 48 hours.
