IN · Published Sep 9, 2026
Rajasthan is experiencing high temperatures as monsoon withdrawal nears.
On Monday, maximum temperatures exceeded 35°C in ten cities, with Ganganagar and Pilani recording 38.9°C, Churu 38°C, and Jaisalmer 37.6°C.

Impact & Risks

The ongoing heatwave is causing discomfort across Rajasthan, particularly in western and northern districts. High temperatures and humidity are affecting daily activities, with cities like Ganganagar, Pilani, and Churu experiencing extreme heat. The lack of rainfall in western districts, including Jodhpur and Bikaner, exacerbates the situation. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and outdoor workers, are at higher risk of heat-related illnesses. Eastern districts may see relief with light rain from September 12, but western areas remain dry.
