The Kota division–specifically Baran, Kota, Bundi, and Jhalawar districts–has been placed under an orange alert, signalling the possibility of more than 200 millimetres of rain within 24 hours. Meanwhile, moderate to heavy rainfall is forecasted to continue in the Jaipur, Udaipur, and Bharatpur divisions.
