Jaipur, Jun 18 (PTI) The southwest monsoon has entered Rajasthan a week ahead of its scheduled arrival, a Met department official said.
Due to the monsoon, moderate to heavy rains have occurred in several areas in the eastern parts of the state, with Kaman in Bharatpur recording a maximum of 101 mm rains during the last 24 hours, Jaipur Met Centre Director Radheyshyam Sharma said.
He said the monsoon entered Rajasthan from the south and southeastern parts a week before the scheduled arrival time.
Many other places in the state received light to moderate rains since yesterday, he said.
Sharma said a low pressure is formed over the middle parts of the state due to which the monsoon would remain active and moderate to heavy rains would occur in the eastern region over the next two days. PTI SDA KSS KSS
