Western Disturbance Brings Relief From Cold in Rajasthan, Temperatures Rise Across Cities

The effect of the active Western Disturbance in North India extended to the state of Rajasthan. This led to a weakening of the cold winds from the north, giving a respite from the cold weather. There were light clouds in Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Sriganganagar, Churu, and Hanumangarh, which caused a reduction in the strength of the sunlight. Owing to the change in weather, the minimum temperatures are reported to have increased in various cities such as Sriganganagar, Jaisalmer, Sikar, Jaipur, Alwar, Ajmer, Fatehpur, Pratapgarh, and Pali.

The increase in temperatures has slightly lowered the morning and evening chill. But Mount Abu has been the coldest spot in the state, with a minimum temperature of 3 degrees Celsius. Cloudy conditions, along with a lack of cold winds, have led to fluctuations in temperatures during the daytime. Bikaner recorded a maximum temperature of 3.8 degrees Celsius, reaching 31 degrees Celsius. According to the Meteorological Department, another western disturbance is expected to become active from December 18th, which is expected to alter the weather patterns in the state.
