However, Jodhpur and Bikaner divisions will get some respite from heat wave conditions from Monday, with the development of a new western disturbance in the region.

The state meteorological centre (MeT) of Rajasthan on Friday issued a heatwave warning in several parts of Jodhpur and Bikaner divisions for the next two days. It said the maximum temperature could soar above 45 degrees Celsius in the coming days, PTI reported.

According to the Jaipur MeT office, the maximum temperature breached 44 degrees Celsius at some locations in the Jodhpur division on Thursday. It is expected to soar by another 1-2 degrees in the next 48 hours.

The scorching heat has already affected normal life in some areas of the state, with people experiencing heat-stroke symptoms, said the Met, as reported by news agency PTI.

A weather official said almost all parts of Jodhpur and Bikaner in western Rajasthan are likely to reel under a heat wave from May 12 to 13. According to the official, many parts of eastern Rajasthan could also see the mercury hovering between 42 to 44 degrees Celsius in the coming days.

The Jodhpur and Bikaner divisions along with the Shekhawati region are likely to experience strong thunderstorms along with gusty winds during the afternoon from May 13 to 14 due to the western disturbance, as reported by PTI.
