The Meteorological Centre in Jaipur has issued a weather alert for various districts in Rajasthan, predicting rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds in the next three hours. A ‘yellow alert’ has been issued for districts including Bikaner, Sri Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, Bhilwara, Bundi, Kota, Baran, Jhalawar, and Chittorgarh. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts light to moderate rainfall with thunderstorm activity and wind speeds of 30 to 40 kmph in these areas.
Residents, especially those in open areas, are advised to be cautious during the weather activity. While the sudden change may bring relief from the heat, strong winds and lightning could pose risks in vulnerable locations. Meteorologists attribute the changing weather to an active western disturbance affecting the region.
The system is expected to trigger widespread thunderstorms and rainfall across several parts of Rajasthan in the upcoming days. Weather conditions are likely to remain unstable from June 4 onwards, with the possibility of strong thunderstorms, rain, and isolated hailstorms in parts of Bikaner, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Bharatpur, Ajmer, Udaipur, and Kota divisions.
Winds may further strengthen during this period, reaching speeds of 60–70 kmph in some areas. Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected in several districts, with isolated hailstorm activity in parts of eastern Rajasthan. The anticipated rain and cloud cover are expected to bring a noticeable drop in temperatures across the state.
Maximum temperatures in most regions are predicted to stay below 43 degrees Celsius over the next week, providing relief from severe heat and heatwave conditions. Rainfall activity is expected in several places in Jaipur, Udaipur, Ajmer, Bharatpur, and Kota divisions on June 5–6, with light rainfall possible in parts of the Bikaner division during the same period.
On June 7, isolated rain activity may continue in parts of Jaipur and Bharatpur divisions. Weather conditions are forecasted to become largely dry across the state on June 8–9. The Meteorological Department advises farmers, motorists, and the public to stay alert during thunderstorms, squalls, and hailstorm activity, as rainfall may benefit preparations for the upcoming Kharif season but strong winds and hail could pose risks to crops and infrastructure.
