The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert of Lu in Barmer, Jaisalmer, Bikaner and Chittorgarh districts of Rajasthan on Tuesday. The temperature here has reached from 44 to 46 degrees Celsius. On Monday, Barmer was the hottest place in the state, where the maximum temperature was recorded at 45.6 degrees. This temperature is 6.8 degrees above average. IMD issued a warning saying that heat and hot nights will continue in the state for the next 48 hours. For this reason, the general public needs to be very careful.
Temperature above normal in these 23 areas
Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Barmer, Jodhpur, Phalodi, Nagaur, Churu, Jhunjhunu, Sikar, Ganganagar, Sangaria, Lunkranasar, Ajmer, Tonk, Jaipur, Chittorgarh, Pratapgarh, Kota, Baran, Karauli, Dholpur, Dausa and Alwar were recorded in common temperatures. Apart from this, Jalore, Pali, Dungarpur and Dabok are areas where the temperature is slightly higher than normal.
‘Go out in the afternoon only when necessary’
Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said, “This is an unprecedented situation in which the summer season is coming first every year.” Historical hot waves have also been predicted in 2025. This is the effect of global warming. The state government should make proper arrangements to deal with the heat. Shady and ventilated places should be made in public places. Arrangements should be made in hospitals. I also appeal to the general public to get out of the house only when they are very important in the afternoon and take all measures to avoid the heat.
Rain from April 10, temperature dropped by 2-3 degrees
According to the Jaipur Center of the Meteorological Department, a new western disturbance is going to be active from April 10-11, due to which the western and northern parts of the state may cause brightening, lightning and light rain. This may drop the temperature by 2 to 3 degrees and is expected to get some relief from the heat.
