The cold spell in Rajasthan is expected to worsen starting Sunday, with night temperatures forecasted to plummet to about 4 degrees Celsius in certain areas, as per Radheshyam Sharma, Director of the Meteorological Centre, Jaipur.
A cold wave is anticipated to grip the state, resulting in a 4 to 6 degrees Celsius drop in minimum temperatures across various regions. Due to severe cold conditions, Anganwadi centers in Sri Ganganagar will remain shut until January 10.
Sri Ganganagar recorded the lowest maximum temperature of the season, while cities like Jaipur, Alwar, Bikaner, and Churu saw maximum temperatures staying below 20 degrees Celsius. Cloudy weather in districts like Jaipur and Sikar is adding to the chill, with fog settling over northern areas, causing disruptions.
