Heat Waves, Dry Weather What's Next?

March 2025 was very hot and dry in Rajasthan, with a large rainfall shortfall—48% in the west and 69% in the east.

A short heat wave from March 10-15 made things worse, but temperatures later stabilized. Over the next few days, temperatures will rise, though heat waves are not expected immediately.

From April 5 onwards, hot winds from Balochistan and South Sindh will bring heat wave conditions to parts of western and southern Rajasthan, including Jaisalmer, Barmer, and Jodhpur.

On April 3, light rain or thunderstorms may occur in northeastern Rajasthan, but it won't cool things down much.

The heat will continue until late April when pre-monsoon activities like dust storms and thunderstorms may offer some relief.
