RAJASTHAN MONSOON AND RAIN

RAJSTHAN MOONSOON AND RAIN

·         RAJASTHAN RAINY SEASON IS FROM MID OF JUNE TO SEPTEMBER MONTH

·         THE GATEWAY DOOR TO MONSOON IN RAJASTHAN IS BANSWADA DISTRICT.

·         IN THE MONTH OF MAY JUNE DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEATING OF SINDH AND WESTERN RAJASTHAN THERE DEVELOPS A LOW PRESSURE ZONE AND DUE TO WHICH THE SOUTH WEST BRANCH OFMOONSOON WINDS FROM THE INDIAN OCEAN GET ATTRACTED TOWARDS IT. RAJASTHAN COMES IN THE ROUTE OF BOTH THE BRANCHES OF THE MONSOONAL WINDS  i.e. ARABIAN SEA AND BAY OF BENGAL BRANCH OF THE MONSOON.

·         ONE BRANCH OF THE SOUTH-WEST WINDS OF MONSOONS FLOWS OVER THE BAY OF BENGAL AND COLLIDES WITH THE ARKANYOMA MOUNTAINS OF MYANMAR AND GETS DIFFRACTED INTO TWO BRANCHES. THE FIRST BRANCH BLOWS PARRELLEL TO TH HIMALAYAS AND OTHER BRANCH ENTERS DIRECTLY INTO INDIA DUE TO LOW PRESSURE AT THAR DESERT. THIS BRANCH WHILE ENTERING RAJASTHAN TOUCHES HADOTI REGION FIRST.

·         THE MOONSONAL WINDS FROM GANGA YAMUNA PLAINS REACHES RAJASTHAN AND HAVE LOST ALL THEIR MOISTURE IN THAT PROCESAS,THUS THESE WINDS BRING A LITTLE RAIN IN RAJASTHANS SOUTH WEST REGION OF THE RAJASTHAN,BUT DUE TO THE ARAVALLI MOUNTAINS THESE WINDS ARE BLOCKED AND ABSOLUTELY NO RAIN IN THE NORTH WESTERN REGION OF RAJASTHAN.

·         THE ARABIAN SEA MONSOON WINDS ARE VERY LITTLE OBSTRUCTED BY THE PARELLEL ARAVALIS AND THUS THEY RAIN IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE HIMALAYAN REGION. AND AS THERE IS A HIGH AVERAGE TEMPERATURE IN THE RAJASTHAN DESERT THAT DOESN’T ALLOW PRECIPITATION TO TAKE PLACE HENCE NO RAINS IN THAT REGION ALSO.

·         THE MAXIMUM RAIN IN RAJASTHAN IS RECEIVED IN THE MONTHS OF JULY-AUGUST. SEPTEMBER DOES NOT RECEIVE MUCH OF THE RAINS THOUGH. OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER MONTHS ARE THE MONTHS OF THE RETREATING MOONSOON IN THE STATE.

·         THE WINTER SEASONSOMETIMES RECIEVES RAIN DUE TO THE WESTERN DISTURBANCES THAT ARE DEVELOPED IN THE MEDDITERRANIAN SEA AND THIS TYPE OF THE RAIN IS CALLED AS MAHAWAT IN RAJASTHAN.
