Rajasthan and Gujarat every year following the monsoon winds. On average, ten locust attacks are common in the country in a normal year. The weather in Saudi Arabia has changed in the last two years. Saudi Arabia received unusually excessive rain in 2018 along with two cyclones also named
Mekunu in May and Luban in October.
Swarming locusts damaged the rabi crops in the state. Farmers of Rajasthan are dejected due to a
massive loss of crops. To repel locust swarms, fire, and a cloud of smoke are created by burning refuse in many places.
