Impact & Risks

The heatwave conditions are affecting residents across Rajasthan, particularly in cities like Barmer, Jaisalmer, and Churu, where temperatures are significantly above normal. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures may lead to heat-related illnesses, especially for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and outdoor workers. Elevated night temperatures are also reducing relief from daytime heat, potentially impacting sleep and overall health.
