Monsoon Entry Expected in Rajasthan by June 25th
The southwest monsoon typically enters Rajasthan by June 25th. However, this year, its arrival in Kerala is expected before May 27th. Given the favourable conditions and the speed at which the monsoon is advancing towards the northern parts of the country, there is a strong likelihood that it will reach Rajasthan by June 25th, or even earlier.
