Rajasthan has been witnessing dry weather since the last six days. Significant rise in mercury was observed April 20 onward.
At present, most of the places in Rajasthan are witnessing temperatures close to 40°C or more. Thus, heat wave condition is a highly possible in parts of West and South Rajasthan in next 24 hours. There is another development, a Cyclonic Circulation that has formed in lower levels of Northeast Rajasthan in the wake of a fresh Western Disturbance which at present is over North Pakistan.
By tomorrow, April 24, we expect scattered dust storm and thundershower activities to commence over Northwest and West Rajasthan. Similar weather conditions would prevail in the region till April 25. Places like Sri Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, Churu, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Barmer and Jodhpur might experience dust storm activities followed by light thundershowers or thunderstorms. During this period, there are chances that wind speed might reach 50-60 kmph gusting at 70 kmph.
In the wake of these weather activities some relief is expected from the hot and dry weather conditions in the region. But the relief will be short lived as the weather activities will be patchy and will be seen during late afternoon or evening hours.
As the temperatures would rise further during the month of May, we expect intensity of dust storms and thunderstorms to increase. Intermittent pre-Monsoon rain and thundershower activities would also continue in May till first half of June. These activities would only give momentary relief from high temperatures and precautions should be taken from destructive winds.
