During the past 24 hours, the highest temperatures were recorded in Phalodi at around 44° C. Other regions that witnessed temperatures in the range of 42–43°C included Barmer, Jaisalmer, and Bikaner. The heat has been made worse by the low humidity (10-30%).

In the state capital, Jaipur, the maximum temperatures have been around 40°C. Some respite may come within the next 24 hours, according to the Met Department, which says partly cloudy weather with thunderstorms, lightning, and winds at speeds of 30-40 km/h can be expected. Light rain is also possible in some areas, which could lead to a drop in temperatures.
