Normal withdrawal of Southwest Monsoon starts from 1st September. However, last few years the Monsoon has withdrawn much later. This year too the Southwest Monsoon withdrawal has not yet started. Various conditions required for declaration of initial withdrawal of Southwest Monsoon over West Rajasthan are as under:<\/p>\n

i) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cessation of rainfall activity over the area for continuous 5 days.<\/p>\n

ii) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Establishment of anticyclone in the lower troposphere (850 hPa and below)<\/p>\n

iii) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Considerable reduction in moisture content as inferred from satellite water vapor images.<\/p>\n
