On the first morning of the New Year, light drizzle and cold spells of Mawth rain fell in many areas of the state. The Meteorological Department predicts a sharp drop in temperatures over the next two to three days.
The weather in Rajasthan has once again taken a turn. Mawth has begun in the state on the first day of the year. On Thursday, a rain alert was issued for more than eight districts in the Jaipur and Bharatpur divisions. The Meteorological Department has also warned of a cold wave and dense fog. Several areas of Jaipur, the capital, have been experiencing intermittent light rain since around 5 a.m.
Earlier on Wednesday, due to the influence of a Western Disturbance, six to eight districts of the state experienced cloudy conditions, and rain was recorded at several locations. Jodhpur, Phalodi, Barmer, and Bikaner experienced good rain accompanied by strong winds. Due to the clouds and rain, the maximum daytime temperature dropped significantly. However, the first snowfall of the season is expected to benefit the Rabi crops.
Dense clouds enveloped several districts, including Jaipur and Dausa, on Thursday morning. On the first day of the New Year, light rain fell in several areas of Jaipur, including Durgapura, Gopalpura, and Malviya Nagar. Dense fog was also observed in many parts of the city. The weather also deteriorated in the districts adjacent to Jaipur.
