The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for thunderstorms and heavy rainfall across Rajasthan, covering districts in Jaisalmer, Jodhpur and Bikaner.
The alert, which indicates a moderate risk of severe weather, is expected to last until the evening of Thursday, with peak rainfall between 3 pm and 6 pm.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to secure loose objects, avoid traveling on roads prone to flooding, and keep emergency kits ready.
The IMD has urged local authorities to monitor river levels and ensure that drainage systems are cleared to prevent waterlogging.
Weather experts say the monsoon trough has moved into the region, bringing a surge of moisture that could lead to localized flooding and landslides.
