The Meteorological (MeT) Department has further warned of a new Western Disturbance, which is expected to arrive in early February, potentially bringing rain to some regions.
The weather department experts further predict no significant relief from the cold for the next three days, however, a change in Rajasthan's wind patterns from January 29 may provide some respite.
The weather conditions in Rajasthan are expected to shift from February 2 as an active Western Disturbance may impact the Jammu and Kashmir region. This system could affect Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, Rajasthan, and parts of western Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, particularly in the northeastern parts of Rajasthan.
The Meteorological Centre in Jaipur predicts clear skies and sunshine across Rajasthan until January 28. While nighttime temperatures will remain low, intensifying the morning and evening chill, daytime sunshine will provide some warmth. From January 29, localized weather activity may bring clouds to parts of Bharatpur and Jaipur divisions, though rainfall remains unlikely.
