The monsoon over Rajasthan has weakened, with forecasts showing no rain for the next four days and total rainfall so far 21% below normal. Meanwhile, temperatures in Shri Ganganagar have risen to 41.4°C.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported that the monsoon trough over Rajasthan has lost its vigor, resulting in a marked decline in rainfall activity. Forecast models for the next four days indicate a dry spell across the state, with no measurable precipitation expected.
Statewide rainfall data up to now shows a shortfall of about 21 percent compared with the long‑term average for this period, underscoring the weakening monsoon pattern. Agricultural areas that depend on timely showers may face added stress as the dry spell continues.
In the northern district of Shri Ganganagar, temperature readings peaked at 41.4°C, reflecting the combined effect of reduced cloud cover and intense solar heating. Officials warned that such high temperatures could exacerbate heat‑related health risks, especially for vulnerable populations.
The IMD advised residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and monitor updates for any sudden weather changes. The department will continue to issue daily outlooks as the monsoon progresses.
