Dry conditions in Rajasthan may delay monsoon withdrawal
IN · Published Aug 30, 2026
Weather conditions in Rajasthan indicate relative dryness, which could lead to a normal to slightly delayed withdrawal of the monsoon.
This delay is crucial for ensuring adequate soil moisture for the upcoming rabi sowing season.

Impact & Risks

The relative dryness in Rajasthan could impact soil moisture levels, potentially affecting the sowing of rabi crops like coriander. While central Madhya Pradesh benefits from heavy rainfall, localised waterlogging in the wettest areas may pose risks to agricultural activities. Farmers in Rajasthan may face challenges in preparing their fields for the next sowing season if the monsoon withdrawal is delayed further.
