According to the Meteorological Center, after September 9, rainfall activities will reduce in the state.
Jaipur Meteorological Center Director Radheshyam Sharma said that a cyclonic circulation (mixture of wind and moisture) is formed over the northeastern part of the state. Along with this, a low-pressure area is also formed over the Bay of Bengal. Due to its effect, monsoon is likely to remain active in most parts of eastern Rajasthan for the next two to three days. This time the state has received 56 percent more rainfall than normal in the monsoon season. From June 1 to September 6, 615 mm of rainfall has been received as compared to the average of 395 mm.
