Cyclone Biparjoy caused the highest-ever rainfall recorded in Rajasthan in the month of June, the officer said. “In the month of June usually negligible rainfall takes place as the monsoon enters only in the last week of June. However, this year due to Biparjoy, rainfall of 156.9 mm was recorded, which is the highest-ever rainfall recorded by us,” said the officer.
