Jaipur, April 9 (Udaipur Kiran): Recent spells of storm and rain have brought an unusual dip in temperatures across Rajasthan, with a mild chill being felt even in April. However, the weather is expected to remain clear for the next four to five days, according to the Meteorological Centre in Jaipur.
After nearly 20 days of changing weather patterns, the impact of storm, rain, and hailstorm activity has now reduced. On Wednesday, most parts of the state witnessed clear weather, except for a few areas that experienced light rainfall.
Day temperatures across several cities are currently recorded around 7 degrees below normal, leading to cooler conditions, especially during morning and evening hours.
Light rainfall was reported in parts of Ajmer, Bhilwara, Tonk, Jhunjhunu, Alwar, Karauli and Phalodi over the past 24 hours. Specific rainfall figures include 4 mm in Todabhim (Karauli), 2 mm each in Bansur and Behror (Alwar), 2 mm each in Sujangarh and Buhana (Jhunjhunu), and 5 mm in Lohawat (Phalodi). The Kotputli area near Jaipur also recorded 2 mm rainfall.
Continuous rainfall has also led to an increase in water inflow at Bisalpur Dam, which supplies water to Jaipur. The dam has received more than 1 cm of inflow in recent days. Its current water level stands at 314.51 RL meters, compared to 313.56 RL meters on April 8 last year, marking an increase of 16.94 percent.
Due to multiple western disturbances over the past few weeks, temperatures have not risen significantly. While the rainfall has subsided, cities like Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Churu, Sri Ganganagar, Fatehpur and Dausa have seen a slight rise of 2 to 3 degrees Celsius during the day due to sunshine.
The highest maximum temperature recorded in the state was 35.2 degrees Celsius in Barmer. Meanwhile, cities including Jaipur, Pilani, Sikar, Kota, Udaipur, Churu and Bikaner recorded maximum temperatures 5 to 8 degrees below normal.
