Rajasthan braces for intensified cold as Sikar, Mount Abu record lowest November nights

The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a weather advisory warning that cold conditions will deepen across Rajasthan from the second week of November onward. Minimum temperatures are expected to fall sharply, especially in the northern and western districts.

Observations from local weather stations show that Sikar recorded its lowest night temperature for the month, while Mount Abu, a popular hill station, also logged an unprecedented cold spell. Nearby Barmer experienced similarly low temperatures, underscoring the widespread nature of the chill.

Authorities have urged residents to take precautionary measures, such as wearing warm clothing, limiting outdoor exposure during night hours, and ensuring that heating appliances are used safely. Farmers in the region are advised to protect livestock from the cold and to monitor water supplies.

The cold wave follows a pattern of early-season temperature drops that have been noted in recent years, prompting officials to keep a close watch on weather forecasts and to issue timely updates to the public.
