IMD confirms favourable conditions for monsoon withdrawal from Rajasthan
IMD confirms favourable conditions for monsoon withdrawal from Rajasthan
IN · Published Sep 14, 2026
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced that conditions are favourable for the withdrawal of the Southwest Monsoon from parts of West Rajasthan starting 19th September
This marks the beginning of the monsoon's retreat, which is slightly delayed compared to the usual timeline. The IMD has observed a sustained reduction in rainfall, clearer skies, and the establishment of rain-suppressing atmospheric patterns in the region. However, isolated heavy rainfall continues in parts of Rajasthan and adjoining areas due to lingering low-pressure systems.

Impact & Risks

The withdrawal of the monsoon signals a shift in weather patterns, but heavy rainfall in isolated areas may still pose risks such as localised flooding and disruptions. Farmers in Rajasthan and surrounding regions should prepare for reduced rainfall, which could impact late-season agricultural activities. Additionally, the ongoing rainfall deficit in the South Peninsula and other parts of India remains a concern for water resources and crop yields.
