Temperatures in western Rajasthan crossed 42°C as the monsoon retreats, prompting the India Meteorological Department to issue a rain warning for the coming days.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert for Rajasthan, forecasting light showers in the next few days after a spell of extreme heat. Western districts of the state recorded temperatures exceeding 42°C, marking a new high as the monsoon season draws to a close.
Meteorologists note that the region will remain dry for the immediate future, with the heat persisting across much of the state. However, the IMD's warning suggests that scattered rain could arrive later in the week, offering some relief to the scorching conditions.
Authorities advise residents to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and remain prepared for sudden weather changes as the monsoon withdraws from the area.
The alert underscores the challenges faced by Rajasthan's agrarian communities, who depend on timely rainfall after a prolonged dry spell. Continued monitoring by the IMD will inform any further updates on weather developments.
