Nearly week-long rains are expected to lash the state of Rajasthan. The scale and extent of activity may not be large enough to raise concerns of damaging potential. Still, the continuous weather activity over the same area, for a week or so, may not be desired at this stage of crops in the region. Some pockets of the state, more so the southern and eastern ones, may find issues of water logging, stagnation and inundation of low-level areas.
The low-pressure area, from Madhya Pradesh has now moved to Southeast Rajasthan. The cyclonic circulation of the system is marked up to middle levels. This weather system will gradually weaken but the remnant will keep meandering over the region, with minor oscillations. The system will remain over the south and southeastern parts for the next 2 days and later move to the central region of East Rajasthan.
Spread of intense weather activity will initially cover Banswara, Dungarpur, Rajsamand, Chittorgarh, Jhalawar, Kota, Bundi, Baran and later reach the districts of Jalore, Sirohi, Pali and Nagaur of West Rajasthan, as well. The size and extent of peripheral activity will reach Swai Madhopur, Tonk, Dausa, Ajmer and the capital city Jaipur. The border areas of Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bikaner and Phalodi may miss the active monsoon conditions.
The low-pressure area will get flattened and ultimately diffused over the same parts. Week-long weather activity can be expected for parts of the state. The weather activity will shrink in size on the 10th and 11th of September. The wet spell is likely to vacate the whole region by 12th September and stay good for the rest of the week.
