Rajasthan Weather News: The weather across Rajasthan continues to shift rapidly, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Jaipur Centre, issuing a series of alerts on Saturday. From thunderstorms and rainfall to heatwave warnings, residents across various parts of the state are being urged to stay alert and take necessary precautions.

The IMD has released a Nowcast Warning valid for the next three hours, predicting strong winds, dust storms, and lightning in several districts. Residents have been advised to stay indoors and take safety measures due to the severity of the expected weather conditions.

Orange Alert: High Risk in Several Districts

An Orange Alert has been issued for Dausa, Alwar, Bharatpur, Dholpur, and Karauli, where strong winds reaching speeds of 40–50 km/h are likely. These areas may also see light rain and lightning, potentially leading to power outages, uprooted trees, and even threats to life and property.

Yellow Alert: Moderate Risk in Some Regions

A Yellow Alert is in place for Kota, Bundi, and Jhalawar, where dust storms (30–40 km/h) and light rain are expected. Although the threat level is slightly lower, caution is still advised, especially for those working outdoors.

These alerts are particularly crucial for farmers, travellers, children, and outdoor workers, as sudden changes in weather could pose serious risks. The local administration has been placed on alert in all concerned districts.
