The Rajasthan meteorological department has issued a light rain alert for twelve districts from August 25 to 27, after which the monsoon is expected to lose strength and temperatures could rise to 39 °C.
The Rajasthan State Disaster Management Authority, in coordination with the India Meteorological Department, announced a light rain alert covering twelve districts of the state. The alert is effective from today and remains in force through August 27.
Meteorologists forecast intermittent showers between August 25 and 27, primarily affecting districts such as Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner, and Alwar. The rainfall is expected to be moderate, sufficient to relieve short‑term dryness but not severe enough to cause major disruptions.
Following the brief spell of rain, forecasts indicate a weakening of the monsoon trough over the region. Experts project that the reduced monsoon activity will allow daytime temperatures to climb, with maximums potentially reaching 39 °C by early September.
Authorities have advised residents in the alerted districts to stay updated with local weather bulletins, avoid low‑lying areas during the expected showers, and take precautionary measures against heat stress once the monsoon recedes.
