The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert for rain, strong winds, and possible hailstorms in various districts of Rajasthan over the next 48 hours. The changing weather pattern is expected to persist in different parts of the state until March 21. In the past 24 hours, Rajasthan experienced dry weather with a slight decrease in temperatures.
Maximum temperatures in most parts of Rajasthan are currently below 40 degrees Celsius, offering a temporary respite from the intense heat and potential heatwave conditions. The Meteorological Centre in Jaipur reported the highest maximum temperature at 39.6 degrees Celsius in Barmer, while the lowest minimum temperature was recorded at 13 degrees Celsius in Anta. Officials noted that temperatures in Rajasthan are near normal levels with no severe heatwave conditions presently.
Due to a Western Disturbance, weather conditions are expected to change in parts of Sri Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, Churu, and the Shekhawati region on Saturday. Isolated locations may witness light rain, drizzle, thunderstorms, strong winds with speeds of 30-40 km per hour, and possible hailstorms. The Meteorological Department forecasts weather changes on March 15 in districts including Ajmer, Jaipur, Bharatpur, and the Shekhawati region, with chances of thunderstorms, gusty winds, and scattered drizzle, along with isolated hailstorms.
Another Western Disturbance may become active between March 19 and 21, potentially leading to thunderstorms and light rainfall in parts of Rajasthan. Maximum temperatures across most regions are expected to stay below 40 degrees Celsius in the upcoming week, providing relief from severe heat and heatwave conditions.
