Winter Chill Grips Rajasthan as Temperature Divergence Widens
The northern Indian state of Rajasthan is experiencing a significant intensification of winter conditions, with weather officials reporting a stark temperature contrast across different regions. According to the latest meteorological data released on Saturday, November 8, 2025, Sikar district recorded the lowest temperature in the state at seven degrees Celsius, signaling the arrival of proper winter chill.
Extreme Temperature Variations Across the State
While Sikar residents bundled up against the cold, western Rajasthan presented a completely different weather scenario. Barmer recorded the highest maximum temperature in the state at 34.1 degrees Celsius during the past 24 hours, creating an unusual weather pattern where some areas experienced winter-like conditions while others remained considerably warmer.
The weather office's Saturday announcement highlighted this remarkable temperature divergence within the same state. Such variations are characteristic of Rajasthan's transitional weather period during early November, when western parts of the state often maintain higher temperatures while eastern and northern regions begin experiencing the winter nip.
Regional Weather Patterns and Expected Developments
The contrasting temperatures between Sikar and Barmer demonstrate the complex meteorological dynamics at play in Rajasthan during the post-monsoon season. The seven-degree reading in Sikar represents one of the season's first significant cold spells, suggesting that winter is setting in more firmly in the eastern parts of the state.
Meanwhile, Barmer's maximum temperature of 34.1 degrees, though high for November, aligns with the region's typical climate pattern where desert areas maintain warmer conditions longer into the year. Weather experts note that such temperature disparities often narrow as winter progresses, with most parts of Rajasthan experiencing cooler conditions by December.
Residents across Rajasthan are advised to prepare for gradually decreasing temperatures in the coming weeks, with early mornings and late evenings expected to become progressively colder throughout November. The weather department continues to monitor the situation and will provide regular updates as winter conditions evolve across the region.
