The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a heavy rain warning for 28 districts in Rajasthan, with Jaipur and Ajmer projected to receive up to four inches of rain and temperatures expected to fall by about seven degrees Celsius.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released a heavy rain advisory for 28 districts across Rajasthan today, citing an active low‑pressure system moving eastward from the western Himalayas. Forecast models indicate that the heaviest precipitation will fall in the central and southern parts of the state, with Jaipur and Ajmer expected to receive up to four inches (approximately 100 mm) of rain by late evening.
Accompanying the rainfall, the IMD predicts a sharp temperature dip of around seven degrees Celsius, bringing daytime highs down to the low 20s Celsius in the affected areas. Such a sudden cooling is typical when dense cloud cover and rain accompany a cold front.
Local authorities have been instructed to activate flood‑relief protocols, clear drainage channels, and advise residents to avoid low‑lying zones. The department also warned of possible water‑logging on major roads and urged commuters to exercise caution while travelling.
The warning remains in effect until the system moves out of the region, after which temperatures are expected to gradually rise. Residents are encouraged to stay updated through official IMD bulletins and local news outlets.
