A sudden hailstorm accompanied by rain lowered temperatures in Udaipur, Rajasthan by about five degrees Celsius, according to the latest weather bulletin.
Recent weather observations from the Rajasthan Meteorological Department indicate that a brief but intense hailstorm, coupled with moderate rain, swept across Udaipur. The combined precipitation caused the local temperature to fall by roughly five degrees Celsius within a short span.
Residents reported hearing the characteristic crack of hailstones and seeing a sudden drop in heat, prompting many to seek indoor shelter. Local authorities advised commuters to exercise caution on wet roads, though no major disruptions were reported.
Meteorologists attribute the rapid cooling to a cold front moving southward from the Himalayas, which interacted with moisture-laden air over the Aravalli region. Forecasts suggest that the weather will stabilize later today, with temperatures expected to rise gradually as the front retreats.
