The weather in several districts of Rajasthan, including Jaipur, Alwar, Dausa, and Didwana, took a dramatic turn on Monday morning with rain and thunderstorms. The Meteorological Department issued yellow and orange alerts for these regions due to the heavy rainfall. In Jaipur, the rain started at 8.00 a.m., accompanied by thunder and lightning, leading to reduced visibility and cooler temperatures.
Skies remained overcast as the rain continued, affecting visibility and prompting vehicles to use headlights. Dausa also experienced light rain from early morning. The weather change was attributed to the influence of the Western Disturbance, according to the weather department. The minimum temperature dropped to 15 degrees Celsius, with the maximum expected to be around 30 degrees.
Alwar witnessed light rain starting at 8 a.m. after dense cloud cover in the early morning, resulting in a cool and pleasant weather shift. The ongoing rain and storms in Rajasthan are due to successive Western Disturbances affecting the region. Most districts in the Jodhpur and Bikaner divisions experienced cloudy skies on Sunday, with areas like Jaisalmer and Phalodi seeing light rain and strong winds.
The Meteorological Centre in Jaipur has forecasted dry weather for Tuesday across the state. However, a new weather system is expected to become active on March 25 and 26, leading to alerts for thunderstorms and rain in approximately 15 districts. In Balotra district’s Samdari area, heavy hailstorms occurred late Sunday night, further contributing to the sudden weather changes.
According to the weather department, a yellow alert signifies the lowest level of warning to inform people about potential weather-related inconveniences, while an orange alert indicates a higher potential for damage and severe weather.
