Jodhpur sits in the Thar Desert region of western Rajasthan, one of the driest parts of India, where rainfall is sparse, highly variable year to year, and concentrated almost entirely in the July-to-September monsoon window. Because the arid soil and terrain don’t absorb sudden intense rain well, even a modest cloudburst can produce localized flash flooding in low-lying areas of the city, a notable contrast to the desert’s usual dryness.
