Jaipur: Severe cold wave conditions sweeping across the state since last weekend abated today giving little respite to people in Rajasthan while Sikar recorded the lowest temperature of 3.8 degrees Celsius last night, a MeT report said today.
Mercury has risen by one to five degrees Celsius at most places in the state due to abatement in north-westerly cold winds since yesterday, the report said.
Due to fog in neighbouring states of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Delhi, 12 trains of North Western Railway were running late in Rajasthan from 30 minutes to 14 hours, its CPRO and DGM Tarun Jain said in Jaipur.
Hawarah-Sriganganagar train was running 14 hours late followed by Sultanpur-Ahmedabad by 8 hrs, Hawarah-Jodhpur/ Bikaner by 4 hrs, and many others by 30 minutes to 3 hours 20 minutes, the CPRO said.
The time table of Jodhpur-Varanasi train has been changed to avoid foggy weather, he said.
The induced upper air cyclonic circulation over north Rajasthan and neighbourhood now lies over north Rajathan, and it may cause mercury to fall again, the report said.
Meanwhile, Churu recorded minimum temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, Udaipur 6.2, Sriganganagar 6.5, Jodhpur 7, Bikaner 7.6, Jaisalmer and Ajmer 7.8 each, Pilani 8.5, and Kota 9.4 degrees Celsius.
People in Jaipur also have a sigh of relief as the mercury shot up at 9 degrees Celsius last night as compared to 5.4 degrees yesterday.
A new feeble western disturbance as an upper air system would affect northern region by December 19 and mercury may fall again in the state by then, a forecast said.
