Western Disturbance to Trigger Thunderstorms and Rain Across Rajasthan Till March-End

The changing weather patterns in Rajasthan that began last week are not going to stop. According to the Meteorological Department, two weather systems may become active in the state between March 26 and 31, resulting in continued thunderstorms and rain across many areas. However, clear weather is expected on March 24 and 25.

In the last 24 hours, light rain was recorded in several districts, including Jaipur, Hanumangarh, and Jhunjhunu. Rain fell in Kota, Baran, and Ajmer during the afternoon. Some areas of Kota experienced heavy rain, while Jhalawar, Sawai Madhopur, and Bundi remained cloudy, with light drizzle at some places. Jaipur experienced thunderstorms on Monday morning, with the city receiving 8 mm of rain, Shahpura receiving 5 mm, and Jalsu receiving 1 mm. Cloudy skies throughout the day led to a drop of about 3 degrees Celsius in temperatures. The maximum temperature was 28.5 degrees Celsius and the minimum was 19.2 degrees Celsius.

After the rains on March 22nd, temperatures in the western Rajasthan districts of Jaisalmer, Barmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner, and Ganganagar remained at or below normal, providing relief from the heat. Barmer recorded the highest temperature of 35.8 degrees Celsius, while temperatures in other cities also remained below normal.

According to the Meteorological Center, Jaipur, light rain is likely to occur in eastern and northern Rajasthan in the coming days due to the influence of continuous western disturbances. A strong system is likely to become active between March 29 and 31, which may cause heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning in the north-western and north-eastern regions.
