Rajasthan Weather Update: Weather conditions across Rajasthan are expected to remain mixed on Monday, June 8, 2026. While several eastern and northeastern districts may witness thunderstorms, strong winds, and light rainfall, parts of western Rajasthan are likely to continue experiencing intense heat and heatwave conditions.
Mixed Weather Pattern Expected Across Rajasthan
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast contrasting weather conditions across the state. Residents in western districts should prepare for scorching temperatures, while people in eastern regions may receive relief in the form of rain and gusty winds.
According to the latest forecast, a Yellow Alert has been issued for multiple districts due to the possibility of thunderstorms and rainfall, while heatwave conditions are expected in parts of western Rajasthan.
Heatwave Conditions Likely in Western Rajasthan
Several western districts are expected to remain under the influence of extreme summer conditions.
Meteorologists predict maximum temperatures ranging between 44°C and 45°C in:
- Sri Ganganagar
- Jaisalmer
- Phalodi
- Barmer
- Nearby adjoining regions
The combination of high temperatures and dry winds could increase discomfort levels and pose health risks, particularly during afternoon hours.
Residents have been advised to avoid unnecessary outdoor activities during peak heat periods and stay adequately hydrated.
Thunderstorm and Rain Alert for Eastern Districts
While western Rajasthan continues to battle intense heat, weather conditions are expected to change across parts of eastern and northeastern Rajasthan.
Districts likely to experience weather activity include:
- Jaipur
- Alwar
- Dausa
- Bharatpur
- Deeg
- Kotputli-Behror
- Surrounding areas
These regions may witness:
- Strong winds of 40–50 kmph
- Cloudy skies
- Light to moderate rainfall
- Localized thunderstorms
The rainfall activity could provide temporary relief from rising temperatures and improve overall weather conditions.
IMD Issues Yellow Alert
The weather department has issued a Yellow Alert for six districts due to the possibility of thunderstorms, gusty winds, and rainfall.
Authorities have advised residents to remain cautious during periods of strong winds, especially in open areas and while traveling.
Farmers and outdoor workers are also encouraged to monitor local weather updates before planning activities.
Hottest Cities Recorded on Previous Day
According to recent observations, western Rajasthan continued to dominate the list of the state's hottest locations.
The highest temperatures recorded were:
| City | Maximum Temperature |
|---|---|
| Sri Ganganagar | 44.8°C |
| Phalodi | 44.4°C |
These temperatures highlight the ongoing heatwave-like conditions affecting western parts of the state.
Humidity Adds to Discomfort in Eastern Rajasthan
Although maximum temperatures remained below 40°C in several eastern districts, residents continued to experience uncomfortable weather conditions due to increased humidity levels.
Higher moisture content in the atmosphere contributed to a rise in the "feels-like" temperature, making conditions more uncomfortable despite relatively lower readings.
Meteorologists expect rainfall activity to help reduce humidity and improve comfort levels in some areas.
Safety Tips for Residents
With both heatwave and thunderstorm conditions expected across different parts of Rajasthan, residents should take necessary precautions:
During Heatwave Conditions
- Drink plenty of water.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.
- Limit outdoor activities during afternoon hours.
During Thunderstorms and Strong Winds
- Stay indoors during lightning activity.
- Avoid taking shelter under trees.
- Secure loose outdoor objects.
- Follow local weather advisories.
Outlook for the Coming Days
Weather experts indicate that rainfall activity may gradually increase across eastern Rajasthan over the coming days, while western districts could continue experiencing above-normal temperatures.
The progress of monsoon systems over neighboring states may influence weather conditions across Rajasthan later this week.
