Jaipur, Nov.27,2025:Rajasthan Rain Alert is active — northern winds from the hills have brought a sharp drop in temperatures across many parts of the state. Residents are being warned that weather conditions will change in several districts, with the possibility of light rain or drizzle and chilly winds expected over the next 24–48 hours.
According to latest updates from meteorological offices, the sudden shift in weather is being driven by a fresh atmospheric system. This sudden turn has jolted parts of Rajasthan into colder weather, with some areas already experiencing record low early-morning temperatures.
For many, this means layering up warm clothes again, keeping an umbrella or raincoat handy — as the skies may remain cloudy, and isolated showers can catch people unaware.
The Science Behind It
The current weather alert is linked to a new Western Disturbance moving into the region. These disturbances — extratropical storms originating from the Mediterranean — often bring moisture, cloud cover, and precipitation to northwestern parts of India during winters.
As the Western Disturbance interacts with local weather dynamics, it causes a cold north-westerly wind to sweep in from the hills, pushing down temperatures and bringing cloud cover. This combination increases chances of rain or drizzle, even in parts of Rajasthan that usually remain dry.
Meteorological centres have pointed out that such disturbances are crucial for winter rainfall in northwest India. While snowfall is common in mountainous regions, plains and semi-arid areas like Rajasthan might see light rains — enough to change the local temperature, increase humidity, and reduce daytime warmth.
Which Districts Are Under Rain Alert
Under the Rajasthan Rain Alert issued today, the following seven districts are expected to be most impacted
- Jaipur — capital region experiencing cold winds and possibility of light rain.
- Bikaner — parts of the division facing cold wave due to north-westerly winds.
- Bharatpur division areas — forecast suggests clouds and isolated showers.
- Other nearby districts in the broader region under advisory.
Local weather updates highlight that residents across these areas should expect chilly mornings, cloudy afternoons, and a chance of light rain or drizzle — even if for short durations.
Temperature Drop and Cold Wave
The cold wave grip on Rajasthan has strengthened. Some parts of the state have recorded early-morning temperatures dropping below 5 °C, especially in Shekhawati and other northern belts.
In recent 24 hours, residents of multiple towns woke up to sharp chills. The dip in temperature has made mornings and late evenings particularly harsh, with a clear contrast between daytime warmth and nighttime cold.
Meteorologists warn that this drop isn’t temporary — with sustained cold winds expected, nightly lows could get even colder over coming days. People are being urged to take precautions, especially the elderly, children, and those susceptible to cold-related illnesses.
Safety & Preparedness Tips
With Rajasthan Rain Alert in effect and cold conditions settling in, here are some key precautions residents should consider
- Stay warm & dress appropriately — Use layers, wear warm clothes especially during early mornings and evenings.
- Carry rain gear — Light showers can occur unpredictably; having an umbrella or raincoat handy helps.
- Keep updated with forecasts — Weather can change quickly; follow trusted local updates from meteorological sources.
- Protect vulnerable groups — Children, elderly and those with health conditions should avoid prolonged exposure to cold.
- Ensure safe driving & commuting — Cold winds and drizzle may reduce visibility; exercise caution on the roads.
- Home safety — moisture & heating — Cold winds can cause dampness; ensure proper ventilation, and use heaters responsibly.
Agriculture, Daily Life and Health
The arrival of rain and cold could bring some relief for farmers. The precipitation — even if light — can help with soil moisture levels, benefitting upcoming Rabi crops. Western disturbances, though infrequent, often contribute to winter precipitation necessary for farming in arid and semi-arid Rajasthan.
On the flip side, cold and damp conditions can increase the risk of respiratory illnesses and seasonal health issues, especially if people fail to take precautions. Public health advisories may be needed if cold continues.
Daily routines may also be disrupted — early morning commutes, outdoor vendors, daily-wage workers, and those without proper shelter could face discomfort due to the cold wave.
Urban areas with poor drainage might face minor flooding or waterlogging if rain intensifies. Even light rain could impact traffic, markets, and everyday activities.
Rajasthan Rain Alert marks the beginning of a chilly phase for the state. While the coming days may bring some much-needed rain and a dip in temperature, the shift also demands caution and preparedness from residents.
This weather change is a reminder of the power of atmospheric systems like Western Disturbances — often seen as a blessing for agriculture, but also a challenge for daily life.
