A drought was looming large over the desert state following deficient rain since the arrival of South-West monsoon but light to very heavy rainfall over the last few days has improved the situation.
Whereas the current rain deficit is just 0.57 per cent, the water level in dams has also increased.
"The state as a whole is now under the normal category receiving 355.64 mm rainfall," according to data by the water resources department here.
The rainfall deficit was around 30 per cent during the last few days of July.
Four districts have received excess rainfall that is 20 to 59 per cent above average, 14 districts have received rainfall under the normal category, which is 19 per cent more or less than average.
The number of districts falling under deficit category (20 to 59 per cent less than average) has reduced to 11 and there is no district under scanty category (60 per cent less than average).
Rainfall in Churu, SriGanganagar, Hanumangarh, Barmer, Jalore, Sirohi, Sawaimadhopur, Jaipur, Alwar, Jhunjhunu and Sikar is deficient.
Out of five districts of Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Nagaur and Barmer, which have been declared scarcity-hit by the state government, only Barmer is now falling under 'deficit' category and remaining four districts are now under 'normal rainfall' category.
72 dams out of total 724 dams across the state are completely filled while 381 are partially filled and 271 are empty.
Meanwhile, the met department has forecast light to moderate rainfall during next 24 hours at several places in all the divisions of the state.
