The monsoon season has withdrawn from Rajasthan, and temperatures surged to 41.5°C in Jaisalmer, marking a sharp rise in heat.
Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, recorded a maximum temperature of 41.5°C on Thursday, according to the state meteorological department. The rise comes as the monsoon withdrew from the region, ending a brief spell of relief for residents.
The temperature reading places Jaisalmer among the hottest spots in the state for this period, underscoring the rapid shift from wet to dry conditions. Authorities have warned that the sudden heat may pose health risks, especially for vulnerable groups.
Local officials are monitoring the situation and have urged citizens to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activities during peak hours, and seek shade when possible. The weather outlook suggests that the high temperatures could persist until the next monsoon onset later in the year.
The department will continue to issue updates on temperature trends and any related advisories as the state navigates the post‑monsoon heat wave.
