Weather conditions have remained hot over the state of Rajasthan for the last few days. So much so, many parts of Rajasthan have been witnessing heatwave conditions. Hot and dry weather conditions have been prevailing resulting in heatwave conditions over the past few days over the city, with temperature settling over the 40°C.
However, the city has witnessed a change in the weather due to the likelihood of dust storm, rain and thundershower activities along with squally winds over the state of Rajasthan. In fact, many parts of Rajasthan including Bikaner, Churu, Pilani, and Ajmer have been hit by dust storm, rain and thundershower activities accompanied by squally winds.
Live lightning and thunderstorm status across Rajasthan
During the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Friday, Bikaner recorded a good 24 mm of rainfall, Churu 8 mm, Pilani 6 mm, and Ajmer 2 mm.
Now, the approaching western disturbance is over North Pakistan and its induced cyclonic circulation is over Central Pakistan and Rajasthan. Due to this, the moisture has increased over the areas of Rajasthan where the temperature was significantly high.
The humidity has increased with the rise in temperatures which will lead to development of convective clouds giving scattered rain, thundershowers and dust storm activities in these areas.
The prevalence of Northern winds will significantly bring cooler winds and keep the weather under control. Therefore, we do not expect re-occurrence of the heatwave conditions during the next 36 to 48 hours over Rajasthan.
