Jaipur, November 28: Weather conditions shifted across Rajasthan on Friday as light rain and an overcast sky brought a distinct winter chill to Jaipur. The Meteorological Department has issued a dense fog alert for several districts over the next two days and cautioned that a cold wave may grip parts of the state with the start of December.

Officials said districts in the Ajmer, Jaipur and Udaipur divisions may receive light rain or drizzle through the day. A western disturbance that passed over the state on Thursday led to a fall in maximum temperatures, even as minimum temperatures saw a slight rise due to cloud cover. Rajasthan Weather Update: Rain, Fog and Cold Wave Tighten Grip in State; Yellow Alert Issued for 17 Districts.
