As the monsoon withdraws from Rajasthan, rainfall has lessened while temperatures in Jaisalmer have crossed 40 °C, with the next four to five days expected to bring mixed weather across the state.
The monsoon season has begun its retreat from Rajasthan, and the once‑regular showers are now tapering off across the state. Meteorological observations show a noticeable drop in rainfall intensity as the system moves northward.
In the western desert city of Jaisalmer, temperatures have risen sharply, breaching the 40 °C mark. The extreme heat is typical for this region during the post‑monsoon transition period.
Forecasts for the coming four to five days indicate that isolated showers may still occur in the eastern and central districts, while the western and northern parts, including Jaisalmer, are likely to remain hot and dry. Residents are advised to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours.
The Indian Meteorological Department urges the public to monitor local weather updates, especially in areas where temperature spikes could pose health risks.
