The India Meteorological Department has warned of rain across several parts of Rajasthan within the next 24‑48 hours, ending a prolonged dry spell.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather alert for Rajasthan, indicating that rain is likely to affect multiple regions of the state within the next one to two days. The warning covers a 24‑48 hour window and advises residents to stay prepared for possible moderate to heavy showers.
Officials said the impending rainfall comes after an unusually long period of high temperatures and scant precipitation that has strained water resources and agriculture across the state. The IMD has not specified exact rainfall amounts but cautioned that localized flooding could occur in low‑lying areas.
Authorities in district administrations have been instructed to monitor the situation closely and to disseminate safety advisories through local media and community networks. Farmers are urged to protect standing crops and to make use of the expected moisture for irrigation where feasible.
The forecast marks a shift from the scorching conditions that have dominated Rajasthan’s climate in recent weeks, offering some relief to residents and a potential boost to the agrarian sector.
