The monsoon season is starting to wane in Rajasthan, with temperatures climbing in the western districts while rainfall continues in the southeast.
Meteorological data indicates that the monsoon has begun to retreat from Rajasthan, with several districts reporting a drop in rainfall intensity. The western parts of the state are experiencing a noticeable rise in temperatures, a trend that is expected to persist through the coming days. Meanwhile, the southeastern regions of Rajasthan continue to receive steady rainfall, maintaining the typical monsoon pattern there.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning that the monsoon withdrawal could lead to drier conditions in the western belt, potentially affecting agriculture and water resources. Local authorities are monitoring the situation closely and advising farmers to prepare for the transition.
Early forecasts suggest that the monsoon will fully withdraw from Rajasthan by the end of the month, after which the state may enter a dry season. Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay updated with weather bulletins and take necessary precautions against heat and water scarcity.
