Due to lack of rainfall in some areas, temperatures crossed 40 degrees in Jaisalmer and Bikaner. Bikaner recorded the highest daytime temperature at 40.1°C. In Jaipur, scattered clouds covered the sky throughout the day, with sunshine occasionally breaking through, giving people a sense of intense heat.
