Rajasthan : South Monsoon may start leaving western Rajasthan including Jodhpur after a week. Although western wind has started from Pakistan and conditions of anti-cyclonic circulation are also being created, but due to the low pressure area continuously forming in the Bay of Bengal, eastern wind is blowing in the lower levels of the atmosphere, which is preventing the monsoon from retreating. Currently, a deep depression has formed near Jharkhand and the Bay of Bengal, which will gradually move westwards and reach Madhya Pradesh. This is likely to cause light rain in eastern Rajasthan. After the end of this depression, the anti-cyclonic circulation is expected to reduce completely, due to which the monsoon will retreat. The normal date of return of monsoon from western Rajasthan is 17 September. This time the monsoon will be late.
The pace of depression slows down in September
During the monsoon season, low pressure areas i.e. depressions keep forming in the Bay of Bengal, which come from the eastern direction i.e. Jharkhand, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and reach Rajasthan. Sometimes depressions are so intense that they go to Pakistan. These cause good rainfall. Due to the western wind coming from Pakistan in September, the speed of depressions slows down, due to which they cover less distance continuously. This is called retreat of monsoon. Due to retreat of monsoon, the 80-90 percent moisture present in the air will suddenly reduce to 40-50 percent.
