JAIPUR: The conditions are favorable for the onset of southwest monsoon in the state within a week. According to Jaipur Met office, some parts in the southern Rajasthan close to Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh are likely to get monsoon showers by June 25. If monsoon progresses well further, it is likely to cover entire Rajasthan by July 2.
According to Jaipur Met office, monsoon would have arrived before June 25 but anti-upper air cyclonic circulation has delayed a bit.

“Conditions are favorable for the progress of monsoon to some other parts. It is likely to enter the state especially through districts like Kota, Jhalawar, Baran and Dungarpur by June 25. Its further progress is also dependent on visible factors like humidity levels,” said an officer with Jaipur Met office.
However, weathermen said there could be minor changes in monsoon dates, but all depends on factors like overall humidity and cyclonic circulation. “Presently, the monsoon is stuck in Madhya Pradesh and is not progressing,” said an officer.
According to aipur Met office, an average rainfall of 760 mm was received in Rajasthan in 2019. “Except for the districts including Sriganganagar, Sikar and Nagaur, the rest of the state had received normal to abnormal rainfall last year. Rainfall in Tonk, Ajmer, Jaipur and Rajsamand was adequate enough to elevate the water level of Bisalpur dam,” said an officer.
The Met office further stated that this year, rainfall would be more than what it was received in 2019. “The ongoing system has suggested that many places in the state would get abnormal rainfall. However, a few districts are likely to get scanty rainfall,” said an officer.
Majority of the dams in the state including Bisalpur dam, Rana Pratap Sagar, Mahi Dam and others too depend on good monsoon.
