The meteorological department has issued alerts for rain and high winds in several districts on September 28.

Rain and Hail Transform Jaipur's Weather

Jaipur has witnessed a sudden shift in weather, with rainfall commencing in multiple areas. Reports indicate that some regions experienced hail alongside the rain.
