Jaipur, August 10 (H.S.) – While parts of northeast Rajasthan experienced scattered light showers on Sunday, the western region of the state continued to face dry conditions. Light to moderate rainfall was recorded in about 10 cities, with the highest rainfall of 50 mm reported in Atru, Baran.
Due to the lack of rain, temperatures in western Rajasthan have begun to rise, with Sri Ganganagar recording a maximum temperature close to 40°C. On Sunday, light to moderate rainfall was recorded in Baran, Dholpur, Sikar, Kota, Karauli, Dausa, and Jhunjhunu.
According to Radhey Shyam Sharma, Director of the Meteorological Centre in Jaipur, most parts of western Rajasthan are likely to see reduced rainfall activity over the next 3–4 days. However, light to moderate rain with thunder is expected in some areas of northwestern Rajasthan from August 11. Light to moderate showers are also likely in parts of Bharatpur, Kota, Udaipur, Ajmer, and Jaipur divisions.
During the second week of August (15–21), rainfall activity is expected to increase across most parts of the state, with southern Rajasthan likely to receive above-normal rainfall, while other areas may see rainfall around the normal range.
On Saturday, the highest rainfall in the state was recorded in Nagar (Bharatpur) at 35 mm. On Sunday, Sri Ganganagar was the hottest, with a maximum temperature of 39.1°C and a minimum of 29.5°C.
In Jaipur, clouds covered the sky throughout the day, though no rain occurred. The city experienced intermittent sunshine through the clouds, and moderate winds helped lower the temperature, giving residents relief from humid heat. Jaipur recorded a maximum temperature of 30.9°C and a minimum of 26.7°C.
Despite the slowdown in rainfall, water inflow into the Bisalpur Dam continues. Currently, one gate (Gate-9) is open by 0.25 metres, releasing 1,503 cusecs of water. The Triveni River is currently flowing at a level of 2.80 metres.
