After two days of rain and hailstorms, the weather in Rajasthan cleared on Thursday. However, dense fog affected several districts in the morning, reducing visibility to nearly 50 meters in areas including Kotputli-Behror, Ajmer, and Kota. Temperatures are expected to rise from Thursday, with no rain alert currently issued for the state.
Hailstorms on Wednesday caused a sharp drop of around 10 degrees in daytime temperatures across multiple districts. Rainfall was recorded in various districts in the past 24 hours, leading to crop damage in several areas. Fog disrupted traffic on the Jaipur-Delhi National Highway until around 8 am, causing inconvenience to residents in districts like Ajmer, Kota, and Tonk.
The air remains chilly following recent rain and hail, but the Meteorological Centre Director, Radheshyam Sharma, stated that the western disturbance will not impact Rajasthan today. Most regions are expected to have clear weather with sunshine during the day, resulting in a gradual temperature increase.
While the Bharatpur division in eastern Rajasthan may experience scattered cloud cover, overall, the weather is predicted to be clear across the state for the next five days. Light rainfall was recorded in several areas, with some places like Shahpura, Bhainsrodgarh, and Sikar registering around two centimeters of rainfall. Due to the rains, minimum temperatures have dropped below 15 degrees Celsius in most districts.
Alwar and Fatehpur recorded a minimum temperature of 10.4 degrees Celsius, while Jaipur recorded 12.8 degrees Celsius and Churu recorded 11.6 degrees Celsius. As the weather system weakens, sunshine and rising temperatures are expected across Rajasthan starting Thursday. Farmers and residents are advised to be cautious due to lingering cold and fog conditions in the morning hours.
