Jaipur Rains



At last Jaipur had something to smile about. After days of withering heat, the skies clouded over around 4 pm on Wednesday and a storm packing wind speeds of 50 kmph lashed the city. This was followed by rain, which brought the mercury down. The storm was triggered by the depression which is now threatening to flood Barmer. But the relief to Jaipurites looks temporary. The Met has predicted clear skies on Thursday but held out hope that the maximum temperature may dip a bit. There was a low pressure in and around the Gujarat coastline which led to this sudden change of weather. This is just the effect of a temporary local disturbance and wont last long. Within the next 24 hours, the weather will return to normal
