Temperatures in Barmer climbed to 37.8°C, signalling a weak winter across Rajasthan, while forecasts show Jaipur will also remain warm in the coming days.
Barmer recorded a maximum temperature of 37.8°C on Thursday, a reading that underscores the unusually mild winter conditions sweeping the desert state of Rajasthan. Meteorological officials noted that the high is well above the typical winter averages for the region, which usually hover in the low 20s.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that the warm spell is likely to persist, with nearby Jaipur expected to experience daytime temperatures in the upper 20s to low 30s Celsius over the next few days. Residents have been advised to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours.
Such elevated temperatures during the winter months are attributed to a combination of clear skies, low humidity, and a prevailing high-pressure system over north‑west India. While the heat is not expected to reach summer levels, authorities are monitoring the situation closely to issue any necessary health advisories.
Local businesses, especially those dependent on tourism and outdoor events, are adjusting schedules to accommodate the warmer weather. Farmers in the region are also keeping an eye on the forecast, as the atypical warmth could affect crop cycles and water requirements.
Overall, the weather pattern reflects a broader trend of milder winters in parts of the Indian subcontinent, prompting both citizens and officials to adapt to the shifting climate conditions.
