Headline: Cold Wave Grips Lakshmangarh as Temperatures Plummet

Lakshmangarh, Rajasthan – A sharp drop in temperatures has swept over Lakshmangarh and the Shekhawati region after the impact of a recent western disturbance waned. The Agricultural Research Center in Fatehpur recorded a chilling minimum temperature of 5.6 degrees Celsius on Monday, marking a significant dip.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts dry weather conditions to prevail across most parts of Rajasthan for the next week, leading to a further decrease in minimum temperatures. Lakshmangarh recorded a minimum of 5.5 degrees Celsius and a maximum of 27.5 degrees Celsius on Monday. Clear skies since Sunday have intensified the cold.

“Shekhawati is currently the coldest region in the state,” stated Radheshyam Sharma, Director of the Jaipur Meteorological Center. “We anticipate a slight drop in temperatures over the next two to three days. For the next four days, the minimum temperature in Shekhawati, including Sikar, is expected to hover between 4 and 5 degrees Celsius.”

The cold snap is attributed to icy northern winds blowing in from the snow-covered Himalayan region. Light fog was also observed in the outskirts of Lakshmangarh in the mornings.

Dr. Narendra Pareek, a weather expert at the Agricultural Research Center, forecasts a further decline of 3-4 degrees Celsius in the first week of December. He cautioned that some areas of the Shekhawati region may experience cold wave conditions. Between December 8th and 11th, minimum temperatures in Jobner, Fatehpur Shekhawati, Churu, and Pilani are expected to plunge to around 2 degrees Celsius. There is also a possibility that the mercury may drop to the freezing point in Churu and Jobner.

Recent Minimum Temperatures in Fatehpur:

  • Wednesday: 2.5°C
  • Thursday: 6.2°C
  • Friday: 8.5°C
  • Saturday: 8.0°C
  • Sunday: 7.0°C
  • Monday: 5.5°C
  • Tuesday: 5.6°C
