Parts of Rajasthan recorded rainfall and gusty winds over the past 24 hours due to a cyclonic circulation with more thunderstorms and hail activity forecasted for the region in the coming days, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Saturday (April 4, 2026).
According to the Meteorological Centre in Jaipur, western Rajasthan recorded a maximum rainfall of 11.5 mm in Sri Ganganagar's Karanpur, while eastern parts received up to 32 mm rainfall in Udaipur's Kotda.
The IMD said that several districts, including Jaipur, Ajmer, Bharatpur, Kota, and Udaipur, are likely to witness thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds of 40-50 kmph, light to moderate rainfall, and isolated hailstorm activity on Saturday (April 4, 2026).
In contrast, most parts of Bikaner and Jodhpur divisions are expected to remain largely dry, the weather office said, forecasting fresh activity due to an approaching western disturbance from April 6.
"A new and strong western disturbance is likely to become active over parts of Jodhpur and Bikaner divisions from the afternoon of April 6, leading to a high possibility of thunderstorm and rainfall activity in some areas," the IMD said.
