Jaipur, Nov 28 || Weather conditions shifted across Rajasthan on Friday as light rain and an overcast sky brought a distinct winter chill to Jaipur.
The Meteorological Department has issued a dense fog alert for several districts over the next two days and cautioned that a cold wave may grip parts of the state with the start of December.
Officials said districts in the Ajmer, Jaipur and Udaipur divisions may receive light rain or drizzle through the day. A western disturbance that passed over the state on Thursday led to a fall in maximum temperatures, even as minimum temperatures saw a slight rise due to cloud cover.
Jaipur Meteorological Centre Director Radheyshyam Sharma said moderate to dense fog is likely in parts of southern and eastern Rajasthan on November 29 and 30, prompting a yellow alert.
“On Saturday and Sunday, moderate to dense fog is expected in some areas of the southern and eastern parts of the state. In the first week of December, northerly winds will strengthen, causing minimum temperatures to drop by 3-4 degrees Celsius. A cold wave may develop in parts of the Shekhawati region,” Sharma said.
