Rising Temperatures and Changing Weather Patterns
Starting from Wednesday, the minimum temperature in Rajasthan is anticipated to rise, gradually easing the morning and evening chill that has been characteristic of the winter months.
This rise in temperature, accompanied by sunny days, will bring a shift in the weather pattern, signaling the approaching spring season.
While the days will be warmer, especially in western Rajasthan, where daytime temperatures have already surpassed 30°C, the evenings and mornings will continue to be cold due to lower nighttime temperatures. Cities like Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Ganganagar, and Churu have recorded maximum temperatures 4-5 degrees above average for this time of year.
Western Disturbance Brings Rain to Rajasthan
A significant weather event, a strong western disturbance, is expected to become active from February 2 to 4. This disturbance will bring widespread rain and thunderstorms to parts of Rajasthan, including Udaipur, Kota, Ajmer, Jaipur, Bharatpur, and Bikaner.
The MeT Department has predicted that the rain may be accompanied by thunder, providing much-needed moisture to the region.
The western disturbance, a weather phenomenon originating from the Mediterranean region, frequently brings rain to northwestern India during winter months. Its arrival in Rajasthan is expected to bring a change in weather conditions, particularly after several days of clear skies and intense sunlight.
Recent Weather Conditions in Rajasthan
Over the past 24 hours, Rajasthan has largely experienced clear skies. However, by Tuesday evening, clouds started to form over southeastern districts, including Tonk, Udaipur, Sirohi, Bhilwara, Rajsamand, and Ajmer.
With the setting sun, cold winds began to blow across these areas, signaling the arrival of the impending weather change.
Tuesday’s weather saw a mix of intense sunlight during the day, which caused mild heat in several cities. Jaisalmer and Jalore recorded the highest temperatures of 30.2°C, followed closely by Dungarpur and Jodhpur at 29.6°C, Barmer at 29.4°C, Chittorgarh at 29.9°C, and Ajmer at 27°C.

What to Expect in the Coming Days
