According to weather experts, an anticyclone over the Arabian Sea has been active for an extended period. This is why states like Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh are experiencing the effects of premature heat. However, after the intense heat during the day, people are getting some relief at night. Due to the drop in temperatures, nights are remaining relatively cool. On Friday, minimum temperatures were recorded below 20 degrees Celsius in most cities except Kota, Jaipur, and Phalodi.
