Monsoon Turns Tables: Rajasthan Gets More Rain Than Maharashtra This Year. But Why?

Summary

Rajasthan has recorded more rainfall than Maharashtra this monsoon season, a reversal of the usual pattern, with several districts in Rajasthan receiving excess rain. This unusual trend is attributed to a combination of factors, including persistent western disturbances and a weakened Arabian Sea monsoon branch. As a result, Maharashtra has struggled with below normal rainfall, while Rajasthan has seen frequent bouts of rain, pushing precipitation levels above seasonal averages in many districts.
