The prevailing dense fog and cold wave in the northeastern states of the country are now impacting the plains of Rajasthan. Although most districts in the state are currently experiencing dry weather, the presence of moisture in the air is contributing to cold mornings and evenings. It is anticipated that the intensity of fog and cold winds in the state will likely escalate, leading to a further drop in mercury by the middle of next week.
Night temperatures below 10 degrees in 15 districts
Night temperatures in 15 districts of the state have now dipped below 10 degrees. While the daytime temperatures have remained relatively stable, the air’s moisture content has resulted in chilly weather. Some districts have witnessed fluctuations in nighttime temperatures, and despite the sun’s warmth during the day, the cold persists.
Shekhawati region records the lowest temperatures
The Shekhawati region has experienced cold weather in recent days, with fluctuating mercury levels. However, the winter conditions have been milder in the Marwar and Hadoti regions.

Increased cold expected due to altered weather in northeastern states
