Meteorological reports indicate hail in Churu and showers in Hanumangarh and Sri Gangana, with broader rain expected across Rajasthan towards the month’s end.
The India Meteorological Department recorded a hailstorm in Churu on Monday, marking the first severe weather event of the week in the state. Simultaneously, light to moderate rainfall was observed in the northern districts of Hanumangarh and Sri Gangana.
Forecasters have issued a short‑term outlook that predicts scattered showers and possible thunderstorms across most parts of Rajasthan as the month draws to a close. The system is expected to move eastward, bringing moisture from the Bay of Bengal and enhancing cloud cover over the region.
Residents in the affected districts have been advised to stay alert, secure loose objects, and avoid travel on exposed roads during the hail and rain spells. Agricultural authorities are monitoring the situation closely, noting that the precipitation could benefit sowing activities if it remains within manageable limits.
The department will release updated warnings in the coming days, with a focus on potential flooding in low‑lying areas and the impact on power supply infrastructure.
