Weather Forecast Today: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a fresh weather advisory predicting heavy to very heavy rainfall in several parts of the country, including Rajasthan, Bihar, Arunachal Pradesh, and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal & Sikkim. Along with these states, many regions in northern, eastern, and northeastern India are expected to witness widespread rain accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds.
The latest forecast suggests that active monsoon conditions will continue across large parts of the country, bringing relief from high temperatures while also increasing the risk of waterlogging, localized flooding, and traffic disruptions in vulnerable areas.
Heavy Rain Alert for Multiple States
According to the IMD, heavy rainfall is likely over the following states:
- Rajasthan
- Bihar
- Arunachal Pradesh
- Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim
- Delhi
- Uttar Pradesh
- Uttarakhand
- Punjab
- Haryana
- Jharkhand
- Odisha
- Assam
- Meghalaya
- Himachal Pradesh
Several of these regions may also experience thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds during the day.
Rajasthan to Continue Receiving Rainfall
The weather department has forecast continued rainfall activity across northeastern and eastern Rajasthan, while rainfall is expected to gradually reduce over parts of southern and western Rajasthan in the coming days.
The ongoing monsoon activity has already brought noticeable relief from the intense heat experienced across the state during recent weeks.
Rain Likely in Jaipur, Ajmer, Kota and Udaipur Divisions
According to the Jaipur Meteorological Centre, rain-bearing clouds are expected to remain active across many districts on Tuesday.
Most districts in the following divisions are likely to receive light to heavy rainfall:
- Jaipur
- Ajmer
- Bharatpur
- Kota
- Udaipur
Thunderstorms accompanied by moderate to heavy showers may occur in several locations throughout the day.
Districts Under Rain and Wind Alert
The IMD has issued a rain and gusty wind warning for several districts, including:
- Jaipur
- Alwar
- Bharatpur
- Dausa
- Deeg
- Dholpur
- Karauli
- Sawai Madhopur
- Sikar
- Tonk
Residents in these districts may experience intermittent rainfall along with strong winds.
Heavy Rain Expected in Southern Rajasthan
Some districts in southern Rajasthan are likely to witness more intense rainfall during the day.
These include:
- Udaipur
- Banswara
- Dungarpur
- Pratapgarh
- Chittorgarh
- Rajsamand
- Bhilwara
- Bundi
- Baran
Local authorities have advised residents in low-lying areas to remain cautious as heavy rainfall could lead to temporary waterlogging.
Light to Moderate Rain Forecast for Western Districts
The weather department has predicted light to moderate showers in several western and northwestern districts, including:
- Jodhpur
- Pali
- Nagaur
- Jalore
- Sirohi
- Bikaner
- Churu

Although rainfall is expected in these areas, the intensity is likely to remain lower than in eastern and southern Rajasthan.
Limited Rainfall Expected in Desert Regions
The forecast indicates comparatively lower chances of rainfall in:
- Barmer
- Jaisalmer
- Balotra
- Phalodi
These districts may witness isolated cloud cover or brief light showers, but widespread rainfall is considered less likely.
Monsoon Brings Relief from Heat
The active monsoon spell has significantly reduced daytime temperatures across many parts of Rajasthan. Cloudy skies and frequent rainfall have helped ease heatwave-like conditions, making the weather more comfortable for residents.
However, authorities have advised people to remain alert during periods of heavy rain, avoid waterlogged roads, and follow official weather advisories, especially in districts where thunderstorms and intense showers are expected.
With the southwest monsoon remaining active, rainfall is likely to continue across several parts of Rajasthan and other northern and eastern states over the next few days. Citizens are encouraged to stay updated with the latest IMD forecasts before planning travel or outdoor activities.
