The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) had on Monday forecast intense rainfall in Rajasthan due to a low-pressure area lying over the southwest region of the state and its neighbourhood. This has caused a cyclonic circulation extending up to mid-tropospheric levels.</p>

Increased rainfall is also predicted in the northern part of India.</p>
