The state weather department has warned of rain, hail and winds up to 40 km per hour across several districts of Rajasthan on October 15-16 due to a western disturbance.
The Rajasthan Meteorological Department has issued an alert for the period of October 15-16, citing the influence of a western disturbance. The warning covers rain, hail and wind speeds reaching 40 kilometres per hour in districts such as Bikaner, Hanumangarh and parts of the Jaipur‑Bharatpur division.
Residents in the affected areas have been advised to secure loose objects, avoid travel on exposed roads and stay updated with local weather bulletins. Agricultural activities may be disrupted, and farmers are urged to protect crops and livestock from sudden downpours and hailstones.
Authorities will monitor the situation closely and provide further updates if the intensity of the weather system changes. Emergency services remain on standby to respond to any incidents arising from the forecasted conditions.
The alert follows a pattern of similar disturbances that have periodically impacted north‑western India during the post‑monsoon season, prompting heightened vigilance across the region.
Officials stress that the warning is precautionary and that the public should follow official advisories to minimise any potential damage.
