Today morning, the envelop of fog spread over almost entire Rajasthan leading to a significant drop in day temperatures. Parts of the state witnessed ‘cold-day’ conditions as the temperatures went down below 16⁰C. In Jodhpur, the maximum temperature dropped to 18.8⁰C on Thursday, which is 8⁰C below normal. Ganganagar was 11⁰C below normal at 11.9⁰C, while Bikaner was 7⁰C below normal. With morning minimums ranging between 7⁰C to 9⁰C, the diurnal variation is just about 3⁰C.
“Fog in Rajasthan will persist but the fog cover will thin down. Maximum temperatures could therefore take about 24 hours to normalize”, says senior meteorologist skymetweather.com
