Rajasthan to face an extra-long cold wave this winter

India Dec 03, 2025

Rajasthan is gearing up for a longer, harsher cold wave than usual.
Night temperatures have already dropped to 3.2°C in places like Fatehpur and Lunkaransar, and the India Meteorological Department (IMD) says things are about to get even chillier in the coming days.

Why does this matter?

Normally, Rajasthan gets four to six really cold days each winter—but this time, we could see up to 11 thanks to La Nina and polar vortex effects continuing.
This extended chill isn't just uncomfortable: it's tougher on older people, young kids, farmers, and daily wage workers.
The IMD is urging everyone to keep an eye on daily forecasts and take precautions as the cold sets in.
