The India Meteorological Department said the southwest monsoon has pulled back from several districts in western Rajasthan, ending the rainy spell in the region.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a bulletin indicating that the southwest monsoon has withdrawn from parts of western Rajasthan. The agency noted that the retreat was observed across multiple districts, marking the end of the monsoon spell that had been active in the area.
The withdrawal is expected to affect agricultural activities that rely on monsoon rains, especially in rain‑fed fields. Farmers in the region may face reduced soil moisture, prompting them to consider alternate irrigation measures.
IMD cautioned that while the monsoon has receded for now, the system could re‑enter the region later in the season if atmospheric conditions become favorable. Authorities advised residents to stay updated with weather alerts and to conserve water resources until the next rainfall.
