Scattered dust storm and thundershower activities have occurred over parts of Rajasthan during the last 24 hours. In fact, since the last two days, several parts of the state have been continuously experiencing rain and thundershower activities.
Places like Jaipur and Bikaner recorded dust storm and light thundershowers yesterday.
According to Skymet Weather, these activities will gradually increase due to formation of an induced Cyclonic Circulation over northern parts of Rajasthan, during next 24 hours. Moreover, a Western Disturbance is present over Pakistan. As this WD is expected to move away eastwards towards Jammu and Kashmir, the Cyclonic Circulation over Rajasthan will become more prominent, leading to a significant increase in rain and thundershower activities.
On May 22 and 23, we expect many parts of Rajasthan to receive rain and thundershowers with increased intensity. Moreover, there are bright chances of hailstorm at one or two places. These activities will be accompanied with strong gusty winds.
In the wake of these activities, mercury will remain under check and temperatures which are at present above 40 degree mark over most parts, will witness a fall of 2℃ to 3℃. One or two places may witness a significant fall of 3℃ to 4℃, leading to comfortable weather conditions for the residents.
