Monsoon weather patterns in India

Overview

Monsoon activity across northern and western India has shown varying patterns. In early September, rainfall began to weaken in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. While Rajasthan experienced sudden rain in Alwar that prompted school closures in Jhalawar, meteorological forecasts indicated a trend toward drier conditions for much of the state. In Uttar Pradesh, heavy rains subsided, with temperatures projected to rise as rainfall decreased, though a resurgence was anticipated for mid-September. By September 10, forecasts indicated shifting patterns. While rainfall in Rajasthan remained limited to isolated showers in eastern divisions like Jaipur and Kota, increased activity was expected in Maharashtra. Alerts were issued for several Maharashtra districts, including Mumbai, Nagpur, and Pune, with potential wind speeds of 35 to 40 km/h. By mid-September, the monsoon showed signs of deficiency. In Maharashtra, meteorologists predicted a low probability of widespread or heavy rainfall, raising concerns for farmers in the Marathwada and Vidarbha regions. In Nagpur, conditions were expected to remain warm and humid with humidity levels reaching 92 percent, while Jaipur was forecasted to have clear skies with negligible rain. As the monsoon began its withdrawal from West Rajasthan around September 19, the region experienced a significant heatwave driven by strong western winds. By September 23, temperatures in Rajasthan continued to reach record levels, with six western districts reporting highs above 40 degrees Celsius. Barmer recorded 43.6 degrees Celsius and Jaisalmer reached 43.2 degrees Celsius, with some areas exceeding typical averages by nearly 7 degrees Celsius. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributed this heat to the monsoon’s retreat and clearing skies. By late September, satellite imagery from ISRO’s INSAT-3DS captured a dramatic contrast in cloud cover, illustrating the transition to post-monsoon conditions. Thick clouds extended from the Bay of Bengal across eastern, northeastern, and southern India, while western and northwestern regions remained clear.
