The Meteorological Centre in Jaipur has issued an orange alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall in parts of eastern Rajasthan, forecasting intense weather conditions over the next 24 hours.
According to Radheshyam Sharma, Director of the Meteorological Centre, a cyclonic circulation over western Uttar Pradesh is currently influencing the region’s weather. “This system is causing moderate to heavy rainfall in several parts of eastern Rajasthan, including Baran, where 190 mm of rain has already been recorded,” he said.
He added that the impact is likely to persist for the next two to three days, with thunder and heavy downpours expected to continue. The Kota division—comprising Baran, Kota, Bundi, and Jhalawar districts—has been placed under an orange alert, indicating the possibility of more than 200 mm of rainfall within a 24-hour period.
Elsewhere, districts in the Jaipur, Udaipur, and Bharatpur divisions are also likely to experience moderate to heavy showers during this period. Residents have been advised to remain cautious and take necessary safety measures.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has further reported that the southwest monsoon is expected to advance into parts of Delhi, Chandigarh, Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Jammu & Kashmir over the next two days, with conditions favourable for its continued progress.
In the Delhi-NCR region, the IMD has issued a ‘yellow alert’, warning of light to moderate rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds reaching 30–40 km/h. Neighbouring cities like Gurugram and Faridabad are also under similar alerts.
Meanwhile, heavy rainfall is expected to continue in Northeast India for the next three days, adding to the widespread monsoon activity across the country.
Authorities have urged citizens in the affected areas to stay updated with official forecasts and follow advisories issued by local administrations.
