New western disturbance to impact Rajasthan from June 2 to 4: IMD

Rajasthan to experience new western disturbance from June 2-4 with rain and thunderstorms.

"A new western disturbance will be active again over Rajasthan. - Radheshyam Sharma"

Jaipur, June 1

Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) scientist Radheshyam Sharma on Sunday said that a new western disturbance would be active over Rajasthan from June 2 to June 4.

He said that there were chances of light to moderate rain, along with moderate thunderstorms, at isolated places in Kota, Udaipur, and Bharatpur divisions on Sunday.

"After the next 24 hours, a new western disturbance will be active again over Rajasthan. Its effect will be seen in many parts of the state from June 2 to June 4. Today, light to moderate rain may occur at isolated places in Kota, Udaipur, and Bharatpur divisions, accompanied by moderate thunderstorms," Sharma said.

He added that moderate to severe thunderstorms could occur in Bikaner, Jaipur, Ajmer, and parts of Bharatpur on June 2, with rainfall likely to continue for three to four days.

"On June 2, in the evening, there is a possibility of moderate to severe thunderstorms in the Bikaner division, Shekhawati region, Jaipur, Ajmer division, and several parts of Bharatpur division. Moderate to heavy rainfall is also likely for the next three to four days," he added.

Earlier, on May 30, the IMD had said that very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall was likely to continue over the Northeastern states until May 31, as a depression over Bangladesh was expected to move north-northeastwards and weaken into a well-marked low-pressure area within the next 12 hours.

The IMD also said that rainfall, thunderstorms, and gusty winds are likely over northwest India for the next 4-5 days due to the western disturbance.

Heavy rainfall was also predicted over Kerala, coastal Karnataka, and the ghat areas of Tamil Nadu, with isolated extremely heavy showers over Kerala on May 30, expected to reduce thereafter.

In Northeast India, fairly widespread light to moderate rainfall will likely continue during the next 7 days. It also said that heavy rainfall was likely over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim from May 30 to June 1.

Finally some relief from the scorching heat! 🌧️ Hope this rainfall helps our farmers in Rajasthan. But IMD should also warn people about possible flash floods in low-lying areas. Last year's experience in Bharatpur was quite bad.

Western disturbances affecting both Rajasthan and Northeast at the same time shows how interconnected our weather systems are. Good that IMD is giving advance warnings. Hope state governments are preparing disaster response teams.

My relatives in Kota have been complaining about water shortage. This rain will be a blessing for them. But moderate thunderstorms can damage crops - hope farmers get proper advisories from Krishi Vigyan Kendras.

While Rajasthan gets rain, Kerala is facing extremely heavy showers. Climate change is making weather patterns unpredictable across India. We need better urban planning to handle these extremes - our cities flood with just 2 hours of rain!

Good to see IMD's forecasting has improved over the years. Remember 10 years back when we would get sudden storms without warning? Now at least people can prepare. But wish they would simplify their technical language for common people.

Hope the tourism department is alert about this in Udaipur. Many foreign tourists visit this time of year. Heavy rains can disrupt travel plans and cause safety issues around lakes. Proper warnings should be displayed at all tourist spots.
