Monsoon conditions continue to influence weather across large parts of India, with several states likely to experience another spell of intense rain on Saturday, August 29, 2026. The latest weather forecast indicates the possibility of heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and strong winds across multiple regions, while Rajasthan could see comparatively subdued monsoon activity.

According to the forecast, as many as 21 states and regions may experience spells of heavy rain or stormy weather during the day. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Delhi and several other parts of northern, eastern, central, western and southern India are among the areas where unsettled weather conditions are expected.

Strong winds may also accompany thunderstorms in some places. Wind speeds could reportedly reach up to 85 kmph during intense weather activity, making it important for residents in affected areas to remain cautious, particularly during thunderstorms.

Heavy Rain and Thunderstorm Risk Across Several States

The weather outlook for August 29 suggests widespread monsoon activity across the country. Heavy rain and thunderstorms have been forecast for several areas as moisture-laden monsoon winds continue to influence regional weather systems.

The states and regions mentioned in the forecast include Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Telangana, among other affected areas.

Weather conditions, however, may not be identical across all these regions. While some locations could receive intense spells of rainfall, others may witness scattered showers, thunderstorms or strong winds.

Residents are therefore advised to keep track of local weather warnings, especially before planning long-distance journeys or outdoor activities.

Strong Winds May Accompany Rain and Thunderstorms

Apart from rainfall, thunderstorms and gusty winds could become another concern in some parts of the country. During stronger storm activity, wind speeds may reportedly climb to around 85 kmph.

Such conditions can temporarily affect road travel, visibility and outdoor activities. People should avoid taking shelter under trees or close to weak structures during thunderstorms and strong winds.

Motorists should also exercise additional caution during intense rainfall, as waterlogging and reduced visibility can make driving more difficult.

Rajasthan Monsoon Activity Turns Weak

While several parts of India face the possibility of heavy rainfall, Rajasthan is expected to experience relatively quieter monsoon conditions on August 29.

According to the latest forecast, the monsoon appears to be losing momentum across much of the state. Weather conditions are expected to remain mainly dry in most areas of Rajasthan during the day.

This marks a noticeable change from periods of stronger monsoon activity when widespread rainfall affected different districts of the state.

However, a weaker monsoon does not mean that Rajasthan will remain completely rain-free.

Light Rain Possible in Eastern and Southern Rajasthan

Some parts of eastern Rajasthan could still receive isolated light rainfall. Areas falling under the Bharatpur, Kota and Udaipur divisions may experience localised showers at one or two places.

Southern Rajasthan also has a possibility of scattered rain. Udaipur, Banswara, Dungarpur, Salumber and Pratapgarh are among the areas where local weather conditions could produce showers.

Rainfall in these areas, however, is expected to remain limited compared with the more intense monsoon conditions forecast elsewhere in the country.

One significant point in the August 29 outlook is that no district of Rajasthan has been placed under a heavy rainfall alert for the day.

What Should Residents Expect Today?

The weather pattern on August 29 is likely to remain sharply different across regions. While several states could experience heavy showers and thunderstorms, Rajasthan is expected to see largely subdued monsoon conditions with only isolated rain in eastern and southern districts.

People living in areas facing heavy rainfall or thunderstorm warnings should continue checking local forecasts because weather conditions can change quickly. Travellers should also account for possible disruptions caused by intense rain, gusty winds or waterlogging.

For Rajasthan, meanwhile, the immediate outlook is comparatively calmer. Most parts of the state are expected to remain largely dry, while isolated pockets in the east and south could still see light rainfall during the day.
