Rajasthan is currently battling severe summer conditions as an intense heatwave continues to sweep across large parts of the state. Residents are waking up to high humidity and scorching morning heat, making daily routines highly challenging. The unbearable combination of hot winds and blistering daytime conditions has forced people to stay indoors, with residents venturesome enough to step out only for essential work.According to the Meteorological Department, the weather will remain predominantly dry over the next two to three days, further intensifying the ongoing heatwave.Sri Ganganagar Records Season's Highest TemperatureThe latest data from the weather office reveals that Sri Ganganagar has emerged as the hottest region in the state, recording a maximum temperature of 46°C over the past 24 hours. Several other districts across Rajasthan are closely following, with mercury levels hovering between 45°C and 46°C.Even nighttime brings little relief, as the department has highlighted an active "warm night" phenomenon alongside dust storms in various regions, keeping the ambient temperature exceptionally high even after sunset.Sudden Shift: Dust Storms and Rain ForecastedWhile the immediate forecast points to dry and scorching weather, a significant meteorological shift is expected later this week. The weather department has issued a fresh warning predicting high-velocity dust storms and light rainfall across specific areas over a span of two days.According to meteorologists, winds reaching speeds of up to 60 km/h are likely to buffet parts of the state. This upcoming western disturbance might bring a brief respite from the extreme temperatures, though the primary threat remains the severe heatwave active throughout this week. Officials have urged citizens to maintain proper hydration, avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours, and take necessary safety precautions against the incoming dust storms.
