Bari (Dholpur) received 80mm rains, the highest in the state, weathermen said.
Attributing the revival of monsoon to active northerly winds and higher humidity levels, Jaipur Met office said monsoon would be active for the next couple of days.
“Southwest monsoon will be active at least for the next three days when several places in Udaipur and Kota divisions are likely to get light to heavy showers. The best part is that monsoon activity is going to be really widespread in the state,” said an officer with Jaipur Met office.
People in Jaipur also witnessed drizzles in scattered form which continued for the whole day. Drizzling guided the mercury to take a dip and made the weather pleasant.
As the monsoon is in the last leg, people are hopeful that it is going to get the state out of the deficit status.
“More than 15 districts are still in the category of deficit rainfall while majority of the reservoirs are yet to attain 90 per cent or above water levels. As monsoon season continues in the state till September 15, there is a possibility heavy rainfall in many parts might, which might fetch us more than 500mm of rainfall, which was the average monsoon last year,” said an officer with Jaipur Met office.
On Tuesday, many places witnessed a rainfall varying from 10 mm to 80 mm.
“Monsoon activity will increase in the state from Wednesday onwards,” the Met office said.
