Rajasthan is set to experience a major shift in weather conditions over the coming days. According to the latest report from the Meteorological Centre Jaipur (IMD), the prevailing spell of dry weather across the state will soon come to an end, paving the way for a fresh phase of active monsoon rainfall. While weather across all parts of Rajasthan is expected to remain completely dry and clear on September 10, 2026, moisture rising from a developing weather system in the Bay of Bengal is preparing to drench multiple divisions of the state shortly thereafter.
September 10 Forecast: Statewide Sunshine as Weather Department Issues Green Alert
Monsoon activity across Rajasthan has temporarily slowed down and weakened. Weather experts explain that the active movement of dry westerly winds across the region has led to a significant decrease in atmospheric humidity. Simultaneously, the monsoon trough line has weakened, effectively halting rainfall activity across the state for the immediate short term. On the warning map issued by the Meteorological Centre Jaipur (IMD) for September 10, 2026, all 33 districts of Rajasthan have been placed under the 'Green Category', which signifies 'No Warning'. This indicates that no rain, thunderstorm, or severe weather alerts are active anywhere in the state on this date.
Regional Outlook for Eastern and Western Rajasthan: Brief Respite From Rain
In eastern Rajasthan, which encompasses the divisions of Jaipur, Kota, Bharatpur, Udaipur, and Ajmer, the weather on September 10 will remain predominantly dry and clear. Residents in these districts will experience bright sunshine and a temporary break from rainfall, allowing daily outdoor activities to proceed without weather disruptions.
Similarly, western Rajasthan's extensive desert landscape will also remain entirely dry. Key desert and adjoining districts falling under the Jodhpur and Bikaner divisions, including Barmer, Bikaner, Churu, Hanumangarh, Jaisalmer, Nagaur, Pali, and Sri Ganganagar, will record zero rainfall activity on September 10. The continued dominance of dry westerly winds will maintain dry conditions across these western districts.
Bay of Bengal System to Trigger Rains From September 11; Yellow Alert for Four Districts
The period of dry weather will not linger for long. A new low-pressure area currently forming in the Bay of Bengal is expected to move inland and directly impact Rajasthan's weather pattern. Beginning September 11, 2026, moisture-laden monsoon winds will re-enter eastern Rajasthan, bringing a fresh round of light to moderate rainfall to selected areas within the Bharatpur, Jaipur, and Kota divisions.
The Meteorological Centre Jaipur has issued specific weather warnings for four eastern districts on September 11: Dholpur, Bharatpur, Karauli, and Baran. These districts are under an alert for thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds blowing at speeds of 30 to 40 km/h. Local residents in these areas are advised to exercise caution during thunderous spells and avoid taking shelter under isolated trees.
Rain Intensity to Escalate Between September 12 and 15; Heavy Spells Expected in Kota Division
Fueled by the steady flow of moisture from the Bay of Bengal system, both the spatial coverage and intensity of monsoon rainfall will expand substantially across Rajasthan starting September 12, 2026. Meteorologists forecast that rain activity will cover a much broader area between September 12 and 15.
Specifically, on September 13 and 14, 2026, moderate to heavy rainfall is strongly anticipated at isolated places across the Kota division and its adjoining plains. Areas including Kota, Jhalawar, and Bundi are likely to receive heavy downpours during this spell, which could lead to temporary waterlogging in low-lying agricultural and urban pockets.
Relief From Muggy Heat; Rainfall to Boost Agriculture and Replenish Reservoirs
The revival of monsoon rains in mid-September brings welcome relief to residents across the state. Over recent days, dry winds and bright sun had pushed temperatures higher, causing muggy and uncomfortable conditions. The upcoming rain spell is expected to lower temperatures noticeably and bring pleasant atmospheric relief.
Furthermore, this rainfall will prove exceptionally beneficial for the agricultural sector. Standing Kharif crops across Rajasthan are currently at a critical stage requiring moisture, and the impending showers will enhance soil moisture and boost crop yields. Additionally, inflows into major reservoirs, dams, and lakes across Rajasthan will increase, securing essential water supplies for drinking and irrigation in the months ahead.
