Jaisalmer recorded a maximum temperature of 42.9°C on Thursday, with the monsoon withdrawing and rainfall expected to weaken.
Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, hit a scorching 42.9°C on Thursday, marking one of the highest temperatures recorded in the region this season. The reading was reported by local weather monitoring stations and underscores the intense heat currently gripping the western part of the state.
Meteorological data indicate that the southwest monsoon is pulling back from the area, a trend that has been observed over the past few days. As the monsoon withdraws, the likelihood of significant rainfall diminishes, leaving the region reliant on scant showers.
Officials caution that the combination of extreme heat and reduced precipitation could exacerbate water stress and raise health concerns, especially for vulnerable populations. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and monitor updates from weather agencies.
