The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has placed Rajasthan under a heavy rain warning after a two‑day spell of dry weather. The alert covers the entire state, urging residents to stay prepared for sudden downpours.
Temperatures across Rajasthan remain unusually high, with several districts recording readings above 40°C despite the impending rain. Heat‑related health advisories continue to be in force.
