Rajasthan Sees Temperature Drop and Isolated Rain Amid Ongoing Heatwave

Rajasthan has experienced intense heat with maximum temperatures between 40 and 43.4 degrees Celsius, but recent easterly winds, cloud cover, and dust storms have caused a 3-4 degree drop, offering partial relief. Light rain, drizzle, and thunderstorms with gusty winds up to 50 kmph have been reported in isolated areas, especially Kota. The Meteorological Department forecasts further temperature declines and similar weather patterns, including heatwaves and scattered rain, continuing into early May.
