The Meteorological Department in Jaipur predicts that the impact of the Western Disturbance will bring light rainfall to parts of Rajasthan on Wednesday. However, weather conditions are anticipated to get better from Thursday onwards, with mostly dry weather prevailing across the state.
According to Radheshyam Sharma, Director of the Jaipur Meteorological Centre, on April 8, light rainfall is expected in the northern parts of Bharatpur and Jaipur divisions, while most other areas will remain dry. Starting April 9, the weather is likely to be mostly dry for the next few days, with temperatures expected to increase by 3-4 degrees Celsius from April 10.
Meanwhile, heavy rain and hailstorms continued across Rajasthan due to the Western Disturbance, with several districts experiencing significant rainfall exceeding one inch. Districts like Sri Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, and Nagaur witnessed hailstorms along with intense rainfall. In Jaipur, heavy rains persisted for about one and a half hours on Tuesday night, causing a temperature drop of up to 7 degrees Celsius.
The change in weather conditions led to a noticeable decrease in temperatures across the state, with maximum temperatures in over 10 cities dropping below 30 degrees Celsius. Chittorgarh recorded the highest maximum temperature at 36.6 degrees, while Fatehpur (Sikar) remained the coolest with a maximum of 25 degrees in the last 24 hours.
