Heavy rains in Rajasthan have severely disrupted life, especially in Kota, Bundi, Sawai Madhopur, and Jhalawar districts. The Hadoti region has experienced significant loss of life and property due to torrential rains. Many villages are completely submerged, and several areas are cut off from connectivity. Nagaur recorded the highest rainfall of 7 inches on Sunday. Two people died when their houses collapsed in Bachhakhada, Nagaur. Four children drowned in water-filled Kunwari Mines in Dabok, Udaipur, on Sunday. According to the Department of Disaster Management, Relief, and Civil Defense, 91 people have died in Rajasthan during the monsoon season from June 15, 2025, to August 24, including 44 due to drowning or flooding and 24 due to lightning. Additionally, 51 people have been injured in rain-related accidents.

Waterlogging persists in many rural areas of Jaipur district due to continuous rains. Waterlogged culverts and roads in villages are making travel difficult for residents. As a precaution, the district administration has declared a holiday for students in all government and private schools on Monday and Tuesday. Collector Dr. Soni has urged the public to exercise extra caution during waterlogging and rain-related situations. He advised not to cross flowing water culverts or drains, to keep children away from waterlogged areas, and to stay clear of water sources. In case of emergencies, the flood control room set up by the administration can be contacted immediately at 0141-2204475 and 0141-2204476, which are available 24 hours.

In the last 24 hours, Nagaur district recorded 173 mm of rain, one of the highest amounts in this monsoon season. Other rainfall measurements include 51 mm in Nasirabad, Ajmer, and 61 mm in the city; 91 mm in Lunkaransar, Bikaner; 63 mm in Kolayat; 53 mm in the city; 49 mm in Jalsu, Jaipur; 62 mm in Lalsot, Dausa; 59 mm in Ramgarh-Pachwara; 57 mm in Dholpur; 92 mm in Goluwala, Hanumangarh; 90 mm in Sangaria; 73 mm in Pilibanga; 59 mm in Malsisar, Jhunjhunu; 76 mm in Bilada, Jodhpur; and 71 mm in Mount Abu, Sirohi.

According to the Meteorological Department, the monsoon is expected to continue for another three days. The monsoon trough is currently moving eastward through Bikaner, Jaipur, Gwalior, and Prayagraj. Additionally, a cyclonic circulation system over Rajasthan is contributing to this weather pattern, raising the likelihood of heavy rains across most parts of the state in the coming days. Experts warn that due to the influence of the low-pressure system and trough line, heavy rainfall may occur in the near future.
