The axis of Monsoon Trough would continue to give rains in Kota, Ajmer, Jaipur, and Udaipur for the next three to four days.
The state of Rajasthan has been witnessing contrasting weather conditions. On one hand, where the eastern and the southeastern parts of the state are experiencing light to moderate rain and thundershowers with cloudy sky conditions, on the other the western and northern parts of the state are reeling under dry and warm weather conditions.
In a span of 24 hours, from 8:30 am on Saturday, Ajmer has recorded 31.3 mm of rainfall, followed by Bhilwara 11 mm, Mount Abu 5 mm and Chittorgarh 4 mm rainfall.
According to our meteorologists, the western end of the axis of the Monsoon Trough continues to pass through North Rajasthan. Moreover, a Cyclonic Circulation is persisting over the coastal parts of Saurashtra and Kutch at the mid-tropospheric level.
In addition to these systems, a Low-Pressure Area lies over central parts of Odisha, which would gradually move west/northwestwards.
Due to the influence of these systems, East Rajasthan would continue to get light to moderate rain and thundershowers for another three to four days. Places like Kota, Sawai Madhopur, Ajmer, Jaipur, Udaipur etc would witness these rain and thundershower activities.
These rains would be beneficial for crops like Paddy, Jowar, Bajra, Maize, Cotton, and Groundnut.
However, due to lack of moisture, the western parts of the state would remain mostly dry and experience warm and uneasy weather.
According to the rainfall data available with Skymet from June 1 to September 7, East Rajasthan is standing rain surplus by 40%, while due to the less amount of rainfall, West Rajasthan by only19%.
