Jaipur, March 28 – Northern winds sweeping across Rajasthan have brought temporary relief from the sweltering heat, leading to a significant drop in both daytime and nighttime temperatures. Several cities in the state recorded a fall of up to 7°C in maximum and 9°C in minimum temperatures. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), this cooling trend will continue for a few more days before temperatures rise again in the first week of April.
Sharp Decline in Temperatures Across Cities
The town of Fatehpur recorded the coldest night in the state at 9.8°C, while Sri Ganganagar witnessed a 7°C drop in daytime temperature, and Pali saw a 9°C plunge in nighttime temperature. These drops come as a welcome break for residents who have been grappling with early summer heat.
In the state capital Jaipur, the maximum temperature dropped by 3.6°C and the minimum by 3.4°C, settling at 32.6°C and 22°C respectively. However, weather experts suggest this relief will be short-lived, as temperatures are expected to climb steadily starting in April.
Temperature Trends for April: What to Expect
According to the IMD forecast:
-
First week of April: Minimum temperatures may remain 2–3°C below normal across most parts of the state.
-
Second week of April: Day temperatures are likely to increase 2–3°C above normal, particularly in western Rajasthan.
-
Overall, a dry weather pattern will persist, with no significant rainfall activity expected in the near term.
Rising Heat Ahead
While the recent dip has provided some respite, meteorologists have warned that heatwave conditions could return by mid-April, with most parts of Rajasthan seeing above-normal temperatures. Residents are advised to take precautions against heat exposure, especially during peak afternoon hours.
