Rajasthan Weather Update: Heavy Rain and Thunderstorms Expected in Multiple Districts A severe weather warning has been issued for several districts in Rajasthan as the state braces for heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has activated an orange alert for Jaipur city, Alwar, Tonk, and Sikar, with additional yellow alerts for other regions. The weather forecast indicates that strong winds up to 50 km/h, along with lightning, could accompany the rain, prompting authorities to advise residents to take precautions. The IMD has warned that the weather conditions are expected to shift abruptly, with the current system causing unexpected changes. While dry weather was initially predicted for most areas on 23rd and 24th March, the sudden activation of a new weather system has disrupted the forecast. The department has advised the public to stay indoors during thunderstorms, avoid standing under trees, and unplug electrical appliances to prevent damage. Travel plans are also recommended to be postponed until the weather stabilizes. Recent weather reports from the previous day showed light rain in Pokaran and Phalodi, with temperatures fluctuating. Barmer recorded the highest temperature at 35.2°C, while Jaipur saw a slightly cooler 31.2°C. Despite the rain, the weather has been described as pleasant in some regions, though farmers have expressed concerns over the impact on crops. The Meteorological Director, Radhe Shyam Sharma, confirmed that a weaker western disturbance is expected to activate on 25th and 26th March, potentially bringing another round of storms and heavy rainfall to 15 districts. This could lead to prolonged periods of adverse weather, requiring continued vigilance from both authorities and the public.#rajasthan #jaipur #india_meteorological_department #alwar #tonk
