Jaipur: The influence of the active Western Disturbance over North India has reduced the impact of winter in Rajasthan. The minimum temperature has increased by 2 to 3 degrees due to cloudy skies in northwestern districts including Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Churu, Hanumangarh and Sriganganagar. This change has provided relief from cold winds and severe cold in the morning and evening.
Dry days to remain
The weather experts have predicted dry weather in Rajasthan for the next five days. A new Western Disturbance is expected to become active from December 18.
Weather conditions in the last 24 hours
There was light cloud cover over Bikaner division and areas of Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Nagaur, Jhunjhunu and Sikar. This has weakened the strength of the northerly winds, which has provided relief from the cold.
