Heavy rain alert from 27th in Rajasthsan; Over 113% more rainfall than normal till now

The monsoon season in Rajasthan has slowed down for now. The meteorological Center Jaipur has issued an alert predicting normal rain in six districts of the state on Wednesday. Meteorologists say a circulation system is currently forming in the Bay of Bengal. As a result, a low- pressure area is likely to develop around July 24. This could lead to increased heavy rainfall activity again in eastern Rajasthan between July 27 to 30.

The director of Meteorological Center Jaipur, Radheshyam Sharma, said that a cyclonic circulation system has formed in the Bay of Bengal. It may strengthen further in the next 24 to 36 hours and develop into a low- pressure system. This system will gradually move toward eastern India. Due to this, heavy rain activities could begin in Rajasthan from July 27 to 30. During this period, Kota division might see very heavy rain, with heavy rain expected in Bharatpur, Jaipur, and Udaipur divisions.

So far, more than 30 deaths have been reported across the state due to rain- related accidents. On Tuesday, two children drowned in a pond in Ajmer' s Arani area.
