This weather pattern poses challenges for local events, particularly the ongoing IPL 2026 matches at Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

Barmer recorded the highest temperature in the state at a sweltering 44.6°C, while other regions like Jodhpur and Kota also faced intense heat, reaching 42.6°C and 42.1°C, respectively.

With Jaipur’s day temperature hitting 40°C, players from teams like Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals are feeling the strain as they compete under such harsh conditions. The Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for thunderstorms and light rain across Rajasthan, indicating that relief may soon come. A dust storm swept through Jaipur recently, bringing brief rain between Thursday night and early Friday morning, which provided some temporary respite from the heat. Key regional temperatures: Ajmer: 41.1°C Kota: 42.1°C Jodhpur: 42.6°C Udaipur: 41.1°C Sikar: 41°C This fluctuation in weather raises questions about how it will affect upcoming matches in IPL 2026.
