The meteorological centre in Jaipur says the southwest monsoon is likely to withdraw from additional parts of Rajasthan within three to four days, with mostly dry conditions forecast across western and eastern areas and only isolated light rain expected in parts of the south-east.

The southwest monsoon is likely to withdraw from more parts of Rajasthan over the next three to four days, the meteorological centre in Jaipur said on Sunday, September 20, 2026. The forecast follows weather conditions that the centre said were becoming favourable for the monsoon’s retreat. Most parts of the Jodhpur and Bikaner divisions in western Rajasthan are expected to remain dry for five to seven days.

Most of eastern Rajasthan is also likely to experience mainly dry conditions for the next five to six days, according to the weather department. Light rain may occur at isolated places in the Kota and Udaipur divisions on September 20 and 21. The forecast does not indicate widespread rainfall in those areas.

The supplied report did not provide rainfall totals, temperature forecasts or details of any weather warnings. It also did not specify the parts of Rajasthan from which the monsoon had already withdrawn. The meteorological centre’s statement offers a short-term outlook for the state as the southwest monsoon season moves towards withdrawal.

No further assessment of water availability, agriculture or drought conditions was included in the source material.
