The monsoon is set to break its dry spell in Rajasthan within the next two days, with forecasts pointing to renewed rainfall in northern and eastern districts after October 6.
Meteorological departments have issued an alert that monsoon clouds will move back over Rajasthan within the next 48 hours, ending the brief dry spell that marked the early part of October. The forecast indicates a gradual increase in moisture levels across the state, especially in the northern and eastern districts.
The first week of October has remained largely arid, with most regions experiencing clear skies and minimal precipitation. Residents in Jaipur and surrounding areas reported only occasional drizzle, prompting concerns among farmers awaiting timely rain.
Experts say that after October 6, the likelihood of measurable rainfall will rise sharply, driven by a low‑pressure system moving eastward from the Bay of Bengal. Districts such as Alwar, Bharatpur, and Dholpur are expected to see the first showers, followed by a broader spread across the state.
State officials have advised farmers to prepare for the impending rains, emphasizing the importance of timely sowing and water‑management practices to maximise the benefits of the monsoon resurgence.
