The Indian Meteorological Department has officially declared that the monsoon has left Rajasthan, with rainfall moving towards the western regions. The shift is expected to bring relief to the state but may raise concerns in neighboring areas.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced that the monsoon has officially departed from Rajasthan, marking a significant shift in the region’s rainfall pattern. The declaration, issued on Thursday, follows a series of weather reports indicating a decline in precipitation across the state.
According to the IMD’s latest bulletin, rainfall has begun to concentrate in the western parts of the country, with the monsoon front moving towards Gujarat and the coastal areas of Maharashtra. This change is expected to provide much-needed relief to Rajasthan’s farmers and water‑stressed communities.
However, the shift also raises concerns for neighboring states that may experience a sudden increase in rainfall. Meteorologists warn that the new pattern could lead to flooding in low‑lying areas and disrupt transportation networks.
The IMD has urged local authorities to prepare for the changing weather conditions and to monitor the situation closely. It also advised farmers to adjust their sowing schedules accordingly.
While Rajasthan’s monsoon season may be over, the national outlook remains uncertain, with the IMD continuing to monitor the shifting front across the subcontinent.
