The India Meteorological Department has issued a rain alert for Jaipur and nine other districts in Rajasthan, with showers expected to continue for the next three days until August 23.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather warning on Wednesday for ten districts in Rajasthan, including the state capital Jaipur. The alert covers the period from today through August 23, indicating that rain will persist across the region for the next three days.
Meteorologists predict intermittent showers and occasional heavy downpours, especially in the Jaipur‑Bharatpur division. While the rainfall is expected to be moderate, localized flooding could occur in low‑lying areas and on poorly drained roads.
Authorities have advised residents to stay updated with real‑time forecasts, avoid unnecessary travel during peak downpour hours, and take precautionary measures such as clearing drainage channels and securing outdoor items.
The monsoon remains active over Rajasthan, and the IMD will continue to monitor the system, issuing further advisories if conditions intensify.
