Key Questions Answered
The weather in Rajasthan is expected to remain mixed on October 12. Light rain may occur at isolated places in the Bikaner division of north-western Rajasthan, while the weather will mostly stay dry across eastern Rajasthan and Jaipur.
Rainfall and thunder are likely in parts of the Bikaner division and Shekhawati region, specifically affecting districts like Bikaner, Sri Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, Churu, Sikar, and Jhunjhunu, along with strong surface winds of 30 to 40 kmph.
The weather changes are driven by an upper-air circulation system over central Pakistan, an active trough stretching to Madhya Pradesh, moisture convergence from the Arabian Sea winds, and a western disturbance over Himachal Pradesh.
