Jaipur, Jan. 24 -- Following the activation of a western disturbance, a significant change in weather conditions has been recorded across Rajasthan. On Friday morning, hailstorm in Sikar district heightened concerns among farmers, while rainfall was reported in more than 10 districts, including Jaipur, Tonk and Nagaur. After the season's first mawath accompanied by strong winds, temperatures in the state capital dropped noticeably. Rain and hail have increased the risk of damage to standing crops. In Bharatpur, a woman sustained burn injuries after being struck by lightning, while a buffalo was killed in the incident. Minimum temperatures across Rajasthan showed a mixed trend following rainfall under the influence of an active western disturbance. According to the Meteorological Department, Jaisalmer recorded the lowest minimum temperature in the state at 6.2degC, while other regions witnessed relatively higher night temperatures due to cloud cover and rain. Jaipur recorded a minimum temperature of around 15degC, Sikar 12.5degC, Ajmer 12.9degC and Mount Abu around 10degC. Rainfall was reported at several places, with Jaipur receiving about 7 mm, Ajmer 7.8 mm, Pilani 7.2 mm and Sri Ganganagar recording around 8.8 mm of rain in the past 24 hours, while light rain and drizzle were reported from many other districts.

A warning for dense fog and cold wave conditions has also been issued from January 24 onwards. In Jaipur, the season's first mawath brought a marked shift in weather. Light drizzling that began around 5 am with gusty winds intensified into heavy rainfall by 6.30 am, accompanied by loud thunder and lightning, leading to a sharp fall in temperature. With cold winds sweeping across the region, winter chill has returned. In several parts of Sikar district, hailstones fell around 6 am. Farmers reported that chickpea-sized hailstones continued for nearly 10 to 15 minutes, raising fears of extensive crop damage, particularly in the Shekhawati region. After the spell of rain subsides, dense fog is likely to affect large parts of the state from January 25. The Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for fog, warning that visibility may be significantly reduced in districts including Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, Churu, Sikar, Jhunjhunu, Nagaur, Jaipur, Alwar, Dausa, Dholpur, Karauli, Bharatpur and Sawai Madhopur....
