Rajasthan will see light showers and isolated thunderstorms on September 19, 2025, with a yellow alert issued for eastern districts due to moisture-laden winds triggering rain in previously dry areas.
Summary
Rajasthan experiences scattered light showers and isolated thunderstorms on Friday, September 19, 2025, as the IMD issues a yellow alert for eastern districts. Moisture-laden winds from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal interact with local topography, triggering rain activity in areas that have seen scarce monsoon rainfall earlier this season.

Jaipur experienced a low of 27.4°C and has a high of 33°C forecast, with 70% humidity and occasional drizzle this morning. Ajmer saw a morning low of 23.8°C, while Udaipur dipped to 25.2°C, both locations under mostly cloudy skies.

The IMD’s yellow alert covers Alwar, Bharatpur, Dholpur, Karauli, Baran, Kota, Jhalawar, Chittorgarh, Bhilwara, Pratapgarh, Udaipur, and Sawai Madhopur. These areas can expect light to moderate rain with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds up to 25 kmph through September 20. Other districts should monitor weather updates as the alert may extend based on evolving conditions.

Travel and Safety Advisory
Residents in alert districts should avoid low-lying roads during heavy showers and secure outdoor property against gusty winds. Farmers in eastern regions are advised to delay harvesting until the rains subside to prevent crop damage. Tourists traveling to Udaipur and nearby hill stations should carry rain gear and check local advisories before venturing into forested areas prone to waterlogging.
