According to the Meteorological Department, several parts of Rajasthan are likely to experience thunderstorms and rain with lightning on June 26. The state is currently experiencing a slight respite from the heat, with many cities expecting cloudy skies and the possibility of storms. Forecasts indicate that Jaipur weather, Udaipur, Ajmer, Kota, Chittorgarh, Barmer, Bikaner, and Jalore, among other districts, may see light to moderate rain accompanied by lightning today.
Impact on Agriculture: The changing weather patterns have a direct impact on the country’s farmers. Reports indicate that erratic weather, including unseasonal and excessive rain, as well as premature monsoon activity, is damaging crops. According to a recent survey, approximately 43 percent of farmers have lost at least half of their standing crops due to these unpredictable weather conditions.
The ongoing weather fluctuations are a cause of concern for both urban residents and the agricultural sector. The IMD's regular updates help keep the public informed and prepared for sudden weather changes.
