Jaipur, June 18 (Udaipur Kiran) – The monsoon has covered northeastern states of India and is currently over West Bengal and Odisha. However, its entry into Rajasthan is likely to be delayed, with an expected arrival around the last week of June.
Presently, western winds are prevailing in the state, hindering the monsoon’s progress. These conditions are not yet favorable for the monsoon to advance further. Despite this, sporadic rainfall is expected to continue in the state. On Tuesday, light to moderate rain was recorded in several areas, including Sawai Madhopur, Baran, and Bundi.
Director of Meteorological Center, Radhey Shyam Sharma, stated that the monsoon entry in Rajasthan might be delayed this year. It is anticipated to arrive around June 27-28. No significant changes in the weather are expected over the next week. During this period, residents will have to endure the heat, with heatwaves likely in many parts of the state until June 22. Following this, temperatures are expected to decline, and pre-monsoon activities may be observed around June 24-25.
