The India Meteorological Department has issued a weather alert for Rajasthan, forecasting rain and thunderstorms in several districts on October 10 and 11.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released an advisory on Sunday indicating that scattered to moderate rainfall will affect parts of Rajasthan on Monday and Tuesday, October 10‑11. The forecast highlights the likelihood of thunderstorms accompanied by strong gusts, particularly in the western and central districts of the state.
IMD expects the precipitation to be most intense between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. local time, with rainfall totals ranging from 10 to 30 mm in the affected areas. Residents are advised to stay alert for sudden downpours and possible lightning strikes.
Authorities have urged people to avoid unnecessary travel, secure loose objects, and keep emergency contacts handy. The alert does not cover the entire state; coastal districts such as Jaisalmer and Barmer are expected to remain largely dry.
The weather pattern is linked to a low‑pressure system moving eastward from the Arabian Sea, which is expected to weaken by the end of Tuesday, bringing clearer skies thereafter.
