Cyclone Arnab developing over the Bay of Bengal is forecast to influence weather in Rajasthan on Oct 29‑30, leading to rain and hail warnings for northern Jaipur and Bharatpur districts.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a rain and hail alert for the northern portions of Jaipur and Bharatpur districts as Cyclone Arnab intensifies over the Bay of Bengal. The system is expected to move westward, bringing a sudden change in weather to Rajasthan on 29‑30 October.
IMD forecasts indicate that the cyclone’s outer bands will generate heavy showers and occasional hailstones, especially in the higher‑lying areas of the mentioned districts. Residents are advised to stay alert, avoid outdoor activities during the peak periods, and keep emergency kits ready.
Local authorities in Jaipur and Bharatpur have been instructed to monitor the situation closely and to activate disaster‑response protocols if the intensity of precipitation exceeds forecast levels. The alert remains in force until the system moves away from the region, after which normal weather conditions are expected to resume.
