The Meteorological Centre in Jaipur has issued an alert predicting a new spell of dust storms and rainfall in eight districts of Rajasthan starting from March 28. Weather conditions are expected to be partly cloudy in some regions between March 25 and 27, while most parts of the state will have clear skies after recent dust storms and rainfall subsided. In western districts, overcast skies persisted due to a weak Western Disturbance, with light dusty winds reported in areas like Jaisalmer and Barmer.
Jaipur saw clear skies and bright sunshine with a 4-degree Celsius rise in maximum temperature, settling at 33 degrees Celsius. Despite slightly cool mornings and evenings, a mild breeze during the day provided pleasant conditions. Daytime temperatures in many cities remained below normal. Meanwhile, districts such as Jaisalmer, Barmer, Jalore, Sirohi, Sri Ganganagar, Bikaner, and Jodhpur experienced overcast conditions due to the lingering effect of the weak Western Disturbance.
The recent back-to-back Western Disturbances have brought a chill in weather, with minimum temperatures across the state below 20 degrees Celsius in most places. Chittorgarh recorded the highest temperature at 36 degrees Celsius in the last 24 hours, while Barmer in west Rajasthan was the hottest at 36.8 degrees Celsius. In East Rajasthan, Fatehpur registered the lowest temperature at 14.1 degrees Celsius, while Churu in western Rajasthan recorded 17.8 degrees Celsius.
Director of the Meteorological Centre, Jaipur, Radheshyam Sharma, mentioned that a weak Western Disturbance is currently active over western Rajasthan, causing light cloud cover in border areas while the rest of the state is expected to remain clear. Another Western Disturbance is forecasted to become active from March 28, potentially bringing changes in weather conditions across several districts. Under its influence, overcast skies, dust storms, and light rainfall are likely in various parts of the state.
