Jaipur, Sep 30 (NationPress) Unseasonal downpours impacted various regions of Rajasthan on Tuesday morning, providing relief from the persistent heat but also resulting in waterlogging in lower areas.

The Meteorological Centre in Jaipur has issued a yellow alert for 23 districts, including Jaipur and Alwar, effective until October 3.

In Sikar, rainfall resumed after a 22-day hiatus, starting around 6:30 A.M. The heavy rains inundated the Fatehpur Chhatriya and Loharu bus stands with nearly two feet of water, causing significant disruption for passengers and halting bus services.

Waterlogging was also reported on Nawalgarh Road, and in Srimadhopur, heavy rain between 8:30 A.M. and 9:45 A.M. flooded nearby shops at the old bus stand.

The district control room reported that 29 mm of rain fell in Fatehpur by morning. Ajmer also experienced significant rainfall, especially in Kishangarh around 10:30 A.M., resulting in water flowing through the old city and surrounding neighborhoods.

According to the Water Resources Department, substantial monsoon rainfall has been recorded across the region, including 747 mm in Rupangarh, 748 mm in Kishangarh, 699 mm in Bandersindri, and 822 mm in the Arani subdivision.

In Dausa district, rain commenced in Sikrai and Mahuwa around 12:30 P.M., providing much-needed relief and enhancing prospects for mustard sowing.

Bikaner noted early morning drizzle at 5 A.M., with forecasts indicating heavier rains in Nokha and Deshnok later in the day.

Other districts such as Nagaur, Pratapgarh, Dungarpur, Jodhpur, Bundi, and Banswara received light to moderate rainfall since Monday night. Meanwhile, Udaipur city experienced cloudy skies and a cool breeze on Tuesday after strong winds the night before.

Weather experts attribute this extensive rainfall to a low-pressure system developing in the Arabian Sea, following a similar occurrence in the Bay of Bengal earlier this week.

With dense cloud cover and intermittent rains expected over the next three days, officials have urged residents to exercise caution, especially in flood-prone and low-lying areas.

Jaipur's meteorological department director, Radheshyam Sharma, stated, "A well-marked low-pressure area continues over the Kutch region, while a trough in the lower atmospheric levels remains active across northwestern Rajasthan. On September 30, there's a strong likelihood of rain with accompanying thundershowers in the Shekhawati region, Jaipur, Bharatpur, Ajmer, Jodhpur, and certain areas of the Bikaner division.

"Heavy rainfall is anticipated at isolated locations around Shekhawati. Light to moderate showers, alongside thunderstorms, are expected to persist across parts of the state for the next 3–4 days. Looking ahead, a new low-pressure system is likely to develop over the Bay of Bengal within the next 24 hours. Additionally, a western disturbance is expected to become active between October 5–8, potentially leading to a notable increase in rainfall across Rajasthan from October 6–8."

The weather office has recommended residents, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone areas, to remain vigilant as conditions remain favorable for heavy showers in some districts. Although the rains have disrupted daily life in several towns, they have also provided much-needed relief to farmers and residents eagerly anticipating cooler weather.
