The monsoon season has officially withdrawn from Rajasthan, ending the period of seasonal rains across the state.
The India Meteorological Department has confirmed that the monsoon has withdrawn from Rajasthan, signalling the formal conclusion of the seasonal rainfall that began in early June. Weather stations across the state recorded a steady decline in precipitation, and the monsoon trough moved northward, leaving the region under clear skies.
With the rains receding, farmers in the arid and semi‑arid districts are preparing for the post‑monsoon phase, focusing on soil moisture retention and irrigation planning for the upcoming cropping cycles. Water reservoirs that filled during the monsoon are expected to sustain agricultural needs for the next few weeks.
Meteorologists forecast a dry spell for the next ten to twelve days, with temperatures likely to rise modestly. Authorities have advised residents to stay alert for any sudden weather changes, especially in the desert fringe areas where localized thunderstorms can still occur.
