Weather fluctuations and rainfall in Rajasthan

Overview

Severe weather patterns, driven by a Western Disturbance, have impacted Rajasthan, bringing heavy rain, hailstorms, and dust storms to districts including Jaipur, Bikaner, Churu, Dausa, and Sikar. These conditions caused significant agricultural damage, specifically to standing crops and harvested pearl millet in Bikaner and Dausa.

Recent shifts in weather patterns have led to a notable drop in temperatures, with some areas seeing decreases of approximately 4 degrees Celsius, providing relief from previous heat. As a Western Disturbance continues to influence the region, heavy rainfall has been reported in Jaipur and Alwar, where continuous downpours occurred. In Sujangarh, rainfall of 16 mm was accompanied by a temperature decrease of approximately 7 degrees Celsius.

The ongoing weather instability has caused localized disruptions, including widespread waterlogging in Ratan Garh and Salasar within the Churu district. In Karauli, heavy cloud cover resulted in darkness during daylight hours. Additionally, the storms have caused property damage, such as the collapse of a 60-foot house wall in Dholpur; however, no casualties have been reported. Residents remain advised to exercise caution regarding wind hazards and slippery roads.
