Heavy Rain Warnings for Rajasthan

As temperatures continue to soar across northern India, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued heavy rain alerts in several districts of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, bringing a glimmer of hope for relief from the intense summer heat. While the monsoon has not yet officially arrived in Rajasthan, unseasonal showers have already started providing some respite in select regions.

Heavy Rain Warnings for Rajasthan

Jaipur, the capital city, witnessed light rain accompanied by cool winds, much to the relief of residents battling temperatures above 45°C. Cloudy skies and sporadic showers were also observed in nearby areas.

  • Ajmer

Strong winds, lightning, and isolated heavy downpours are expected to continue through June 14, especially in the southern districts, signaling the prelude to monsoon’s arrival in the state.


Madhya Pradesh: Heavy Rainfall Likely from June 16 Onward

Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh is also on high alert as the IMD has forecast heavy to very heavy rain in several districts starting June 16, 2025. These alerts come even as the state reels under extreme heat, with temperatures exceeding 42°C in many parts.
