Rajasthan is currently enduring a severe heatwave, with temperatures soaring across the state. Chittorgarh has recorded the highest temperature at 46.3 degrees Celsius, prompting the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue an orange alert for severe heat in two districts and a yellow alert for 16 others. The capital, Jaipur, is facing extreme heat as well, with temperatures reaching 43.2 degrees Celsius during the day and an unusually high minimum of 31.3 degrees Celsius at night, making it hotter than typical desert cities like Jaisalmer. The IMD forecasts that these oppressive conditions will persist for the next three to four days, affecting both northeastern and western regions of the state. Udaipur and Ajmer are also experiencing high temperatures, with Udaipur recording 41.7 degrees Celsius and Ajmer reaching 41.8 degrees Celsius. Residents are advised to take precautions as the heatwave continues to impact daily life, with many areas seeing deserted streets during peak hours. Special measures, such as water sprinklers at the Jaipur Zoo, have been implemented to protect animals from the heat.
