Udaipur has seen a very good kick-start to the monsoon season this year. The moderate to heavy rainfall sequence continued today with heavy rains lashing the city today afternoon. The rains that started at around 2pm are still continuing as we write this article.

Traffic was disturbed and roads flooded (no longer a news!!) as the rains hit the city. Four wheelers were seen running with full headlights considering the darkness that had come down with the rain.

AS per Skymet Weather, the increase in intensity of rains over Western and Southwest Rajasthan is on account of the persisting cyclonic circulation over South-west Rajasthan and adjoining Kutch. This has now induced a low pressure over Saurashtra. Further, there is another cyclonic circulation over Central Pakistan and adjoining Northwest Rajasthan.

Resultantly, the moisture incursion from Arabian Sea along with cyclonic circulation over Northwest Rajasthan has resulted in the heavy rainfalls.

These weather conditions are expected to persist. So it is time to sit back and enjoy a burst of prologated showers.
