Jaipur, March 14 Light rain accompanied by strong winds are likely in several parts of Rajasthan starting Saturday due to the impact of a western disturbance, the Meteorological Department said.
The impact of the western disturbance may lead to thunderclouds, gusty winds with speeds of 30–40 km per hour, and light rain or drizzle in isolated areas of the Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, and Churu districts and nearby areas on Saturday.
