The mercury in Sri Ganganagar has risen to 41°C, marking a significant spike in temperatures amid a broader heatwave affecting northern Rajasthan.
The temperature in Sri Ganganagar climbed to 41°C today, the highest reading recorded in the region this week. Meteorological officials attribute the rise to a persistent high‑pressure system that has trapped heat over the area. Residents are advised to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak hours. While Sri Ganganagar battles the heat, other parts of India, including Odisha, are preparing for heavy rainfall.
