Monsoon activity has strengthened again across parts of Rajasthan, bringing the possibility of thunderstorms, gusty winds and rain to several districts on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. According to the weather forecast cited in the report, an alert has been issued for 16 districts of Rajasthan, including Jaipur, Kota, Udaipur, Bharatpur and Bikaner.
Rainfall activity is expected to be more noticeable over parts of eastern Rajasthan, particularly in the Jaipur, Bharatpur and Kota divisions. Some locations could also experience heavy showers. Meanwhile, western Rajasthan is likely to see comparatively weaker monsoon conditions in the coming days.
Residents in areas covered by thunderstorm warnings should remain cautious, particularly when lightning and strong winds develop.
Here is a detailed look at the Rajasthan weather forecast for August 25 and the outlook for the coming days.
Monsoon Activity Picks Up Again in Rajasthan
After fluctuations in rainfall intensity, monsoon conditions are once again becoming active over parts of Rajasthan.
According to the forecast, rainfall activity could increase over some areas of Kota, Bharatpur and Jaipur divisions on August 25 and 26. Isolated locations may receive heavy rainfall during this period.
Parts of the Udaipur and Ajmer divisions are also expected to experience rain, although precipitation in these areas may largely remain in the light-to-moderate category.
The renewed rainfall could provide relief from humid and hot conditions in some areas, but intense showers may also cause temporary waterlogging and travel disruptions in vulnerable locations.
Rain Forecast for Jaipur, Bharatpur and Kota
Eastern Rajasthan is expected to remain the main focus of the latest spell of monsoon activity.
Some places across the Jaipur, Bharatpur and Kota divisions could receive rain during the day. Thunderstorms may accompany the showers at isolated locations.
Jaipur is among the districts specifically included in Tuesday's weather warning.
Residents should therefore keep an eye on changing weather conditions, particularly during periods when dark clouds, thunder or strong winds begin developing.
Rain Alert Issued for 16 Rajasthan Districts
According to the forecast issued by the Meteorological Centre in Jaipur, thunderstorms and rain could affect 16 districts of Rajasthan on August 25.
The districts covered by the warning are:
-
Jaipur
-
Sri Ganganagar
-
Pali
-
Karauli
-
Baran
-
Deeg
-
Churu
-
Jhalawar
-
Chittorgarh
-
Balotra
-
Kota
-
Rajsamand
-
Hanumangarh
-
Bharatpur
-
Udaipur
-
Bikaner
Some of these locations could experience thunder, lightning and strong gusty winds along with rainfall.
Weather conditions can vary considerably even within the same district, so rainfall at one location does not necessarily mean every part of the district will experience the same intensity.
Thunderstorms, Lightning and Gusty Winds Possible
Rain is not the only weather concern highlighted in the latest forecast.
Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and strong gusty winds are also possible in the affected areas. Such conditions can develop quickly during the monsoon season.
People should exercise additional caution during lightning activity. Staying indoors and avoiding open fields, isolated trees and exposed locations during thunderstorms can reduce weather-related risks.
Motorists should also be careful if intense rain leads to reduced visibility or water accumulation on roads.
Low-Pressure System Influencing Weather
The change in weather conditions is linked to a low-pressure system affecting eastern parts of the country.
According to the information provided, a low-pressure area over eastern India has become active around northern Odisha, Jharkhand and West Bengal.
Such weather systems can influence the movement and intensity of monsoon moisture across surrounding regions, contributing to increased rainfall activity in parts of northwestern and central India.
The impact, however, can differ significantly depending on the movement and strength of the system.
What Is the Forecast for Western Rajasthan?
While eastern Rajasthan could see increased rainfall, the monsoon outlook is different for western parts of the state.
According to the forecast, monsoon activity is expected to remain relatively weak over the Jodhpur and Bikaner divisions during the coming week.
That does not mean the entire region will remain completely dry. Some places in the Bikaner division could still experience rainfall on Tuesday.
However, widespread or sustained monsoon activity is expected to remain weaker compared with parts of eastern Rajasthan.
Sri Ganganagar Records 39.2 Degrees Celsius
Despite the return of rainfall to parts of Rajasthan, temperatures remain high in some western areas.
According to the weather data cited in the report, Sri Ganganagar recorded the state's highest maximum temperature at 39.2 degrees Celsius.
The high temperature highlights the contrasting weather pattern across Rajasthan, where some areas are experiencing thunderstorms and rain while others continue to face hot conditions.
Cloud cover, rainfall intensity, humidity and local wind patterns can cause significant variations in temperatures from one region to another.
Rajasthan Weather Outlook for August 25 and 26
The next couple of days could bring more active monsoon conditions to parts of eastern Rajasthan.
Jaipur, Bharatpur and Kota divisions are particularly important to watch as rainfall activity may increase, with isolated heavy showers possible. Ajmer and Udaipur divisions could also receive light to moderate rainfall in some areas.
Meanwhile, western Rajasthan is expected to experience comparatively subdued monsoon activity, although isolated rainfall cannot be ruled out.
Residents Should Keep Track of Updated Warnings
Monsoon weather can change rapidly, especially when thunderstorms and localised heavy rainfall are involved. A district-level forecast may also be updated depending on the movement of rain-bearing clouds and other atmospheric conditions.
People in the 16 districts covered by Tuesday's warning should therefore monitor the latest official weather updates before travelling or planning outdoor activities.
With thunderstorms, lightning, gusty winds and rain possible across several parts of Rajasthan on August 25, residents should remain alert to short-duration weather warnings and take appropriate precautions if conditions deteriorate.
