Jaipur, 1 September (Kiran News). Successive circulation systems over northwest Rajasthan have resulted in continuous rainfall across the state, bringing both relief and trouble to residents. On Monday, 20 cities recorded moderate to heavy rainfall, with the spell expected to continue in the coming days. The highest rainfall was recorded in Bagor (Bhilwara) at 4 inches.
In Bikaner’s Pugal region, a kutcha house collapsed due to the rains, resulting in one woman’s death and injuries to another. Streets turned into rivers in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Ajmer, Hanumangarh, Tonk, and several other cities as heavy rains lashed the state. In Sirohi, the vehicle of the tehsildar, along with other officials, slipped into fast-flowing waters near Madhi Rapta at Ganga Veri. In Sikar’s Shrimadhopur, the veranda of a 250-year-old temple collapsed. Three feet of water was reported outside the SP-Collector’s office in Hanumangarh, while in Jodhpur’s Bhatta Mohalla, a house wall and part of the roof collapsed, injuring a woman.
New System Brewing in Bay of Bengal; Heavy Rain Likely in South Rajasthan
According to Radheyshyam Sharma, Director of Jaipur Meteorological Centre, a circulation system remains active over northwest Rajasthan, and the monsoon trough line is in its normal position. This has caused heavy to very heavy rainfall in many parts of Jaipur, Ajmer, Udaipur, Kota, Bharatpur, Jodhpur, and the Shekhawati region. Eastern Rajasthan can expect moderate to heavy rains in most parts over the next five days. Heavy rain activity may decrease in parts of Jodhpur and Bikaner divisions between 2-4 September, but a new low-pressure system is expected to form over the Bay of Bengal in the next 24 hours. This could lead to another spell of heavy rainfall in southern Rajasthan from 4 to 7 September. On Sunday, Chamu (Jodhpur) received the highest rainfall at 211 mm.
Jaipur Sees Drop in Temperature with Continued Showers
Jaipur saw intermittent rainfall throughout the day, resulting in a 3-degree drop in daytime temperature. The city’s maximum temperature was recorded at 28.1°C, and the minimum at 24.6°C.
