A yellow weather alert has been declared for 16 districts in Rajasthan after heavy rain and hail showers began in late September.
The Rajasthan State Disaster Management Authority issued a yellow alert for sixteen districts as the monsoon pattern shifted at the end of September, bringing sudden rain and hailstorms. Meteorological data indicated a rapid drop in temperature accompanied by strong updrafts, which triggered the unusual hail events across the region.
Affected districts include Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Alwar and others, where local authorities reported intermittent downpours and small hailstones damaging crops and outdoor structures. Early morning reports noted waterlogging on several rural roads, prompting temporary traffic diversions.
Officials have advised residents to stay indoors, secure loose objects, and avoid travel on flooded routes. Emergency response teams are on standby to assist with any injuries or property damage, and the alert will be reviewed daily based on evolving weather forecasts.
