The India Meteorological Department forecasts rain in the Kota division today and tomorrow, with temperatures falling by about six degrees Celsius, offering relief from the recent heat wave.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a short‑term forecast indicating that rain is likely to affect the Kota division over the next two days. Meteorologists expect showers to begin later today and continue into tomorrow, bringing much‑needed moisture to the region.
Temperatures across the division are projected to drop by roughly six degrees Celsius compared with the previous days, easing the intense heat that has persisted in recent weeks. The cooler air is expected to provide immediate relief to residents and agricultural activities.
Despite the anticipated rainfall, the amount of precipitation is expected to be about 23% below the long‑term average for this period, according to the IMD data. Authorities have advised people to stay prepared for localized flooding while also noting that the reduced rainfall may not fully replenish water sources.
The forecast underscores a brief but significant shift in weather patterns for Kota, a key commercial hub in Rajasthan, as the region moves from a heat‑dominated spell toward a cooler, slightly wetter phase.
Local officials are monitoring the situation and have urged citizens to follow updates from the IMD and take standard precautions during the expected showers.
