Heavy Rainfall Affects Multiple Districts in Rajasthan Amid Monsoon Withdrawal
Rajasthan experienced moderate to very heavy rainfall across several districts, including Jaipur, Dungarpur, and Udaipur, influenced by a low-pressure area and a western disturbance. Jaipur recorded 37.8 mm of rain with resulting waterlogging and traffic congestion. Rainfall is expected to continue in parts of the state, with a decrease anticipated around September 19, signaling the likely withdrawal of the southwest monsoon from western Rajasthan. Dry conditions are forecasted for most areas from September 21 onward.
