After reeling under dry weather conditions, finally, the weather in Rajasthan has taken a U-turn. Under the influence of a Western Disturbance, an induced cyclonic circulation has developed over Central Pakistan and adjoining parts of West Rajasthan. Due to this weather system, the weather of Rajasthan has turned cloudy since Monday morning with rains occurring at a few stations.
While parts of North Rajasthan like Churu, Sikar, Ajmer have already witnessed some light spells around March 15-16, the other parts of the desert state have remained mainly dry for more than a fortnight. Meanwhile, some light spells occurred over Mount Abu, Jaipur and adjoining regions in the past 24 hours.

These pre-Monsoon activities usually reach their peak during the later parts of April and May.
