I'm visiting Jaipur from the UK and this weather is a pleasant surprise! Back home it's still freezing. Though I must say, the rapid shift from winter to summer heat the article mentions is quite concerning from a climate perspective.

As a farmer in Alwar district, this early heat is worrying for the Rabi crops. We need the rain forecast for Friday to be substantial, not just light drizzle. The Met department's predictions need to be more accurate for us to plan.

Time to get the coolers and ACs serviced! The article is right, only a mild chill in the mornings now. Summer is arriving early. Mount Abu at 25.4 degrees sounds like the perfect weekend getaway plan.

The detailed district-wise data is helpful. In Sikar, we are at 29, which is manageable, but seeing neighbours like Jhunjhunu and Churu above 30 is telling. Climate change is real, ji. We must adopt water conservation methods seriously before the peak summer.

Interesting to see the role of Western Disturbances explained. The temporary drop in temperature due to rain will be welcome, but it often increases humidity afterwards, which can be equally uncomfortable.

We welcome thoughtful discussions from our readers. Please keep comments respectful and on-topic.
