In the last week of August, heavy monsoon rains are expected in most parts of Rajasthan. The Meteorological Department states that the formation of a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal has caused the monsoon to become active again in Rajasthan. Over the past 24 hours, light rain was recorded in the southern regions of Rajasthan. It is now estimated that over the next 4 to 5 days, the monsoon will be gentle to the Udaipur and Jodhpur divisions. Additionally, light rain is forecasted in parts of Kota, Ajmer, Jaipur, Bharatpur, and Bikaner divisions.

The Jaipur Meteorological Center has issued a forecast indicating heavy rain in Rajasthan over the coming days. There is a possibility of very heavy rain in Dungarpur, Sirohi, and Udaipur. Furthermore, on August 20, a warning of very heavy rain has been issued for South Rajasthan.
