Jaipur, April 6 -- A fresh spell of unstable weather is set to hit Rajasthan from Sunday, with the Meteorological Department warning of thunderstorms, strong winds and heavy rainfall in at least 13 districts. Hailstorm activity has also been forecast in several areas as a new weather system becomes active. According to the Meteorological Centre, another strong Western Disturbance will become active on April 6, affecting divisions including Jodhpur, Bikaner, Ajmer and the Shekhawati region. Several areas are likely to experience thunderstorms, gusty winds reaching 40-50 kmph, moderate rain and isolated hailstorms, especially during the afternoon. The impact is expected to intensify on April 7, with strong thunderstorms, lightning, winds of 50-60 kmph, moderate to heavy rainfall and hail likely across parts of Jodhpur, Bikaner, Ajmer, Jaipur, Bharatpur and Kota divisions. By April 8, rainfall activity is expected to reduce, with light to moderate showers limited to northern and eastern regions, while most other parts will remain dry. From April 9 onwards, weather is likely to remain largely dry across the state for the next three to four days, the Met said. Authorities have issued advisories urging farmers to protect harvested crops and produce kept in open fields or mandis by covering or storing them safely to prevent damage from rain and hail. Weather experts note that such frequent and intense western disturbances are unusual for March and April. Typically, these systems affect northern India, but this time their positioning over the northwestern plains - combined with abundant moisture from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal - has led to widespread storms and rainfall. The recent western disturbance that struck on April 3 has already caused severe losses to farmers across more than 10 districts. Hailstorms destroyed standing crops, particularly wheat and gram, flattening fields and scattering produce. In rural areas of Jodhpur district, including Balesar and nearby villages, crops suffered extensive damage. Similar losses were reported in parts of Dausa district, where continuous hail over two days damaged crops in multiple villages. Vegetable and fruit crops have been particularly affected, with tomato plants flattened and produce ruined. In Karauli and Churu, hailstorms and strong winds damaged fennel, wheat, isabgol and fenugreek crops. Standing crops were flattened, while harvested produce was soaked and spoiled, compounding the losses for farmers during the crucial rabi harvest season....
