Strong storm and rain in Bambalu-Sarupasar of Rajasthan: relief from heat, benefit to cotton crop
The weather suddenly changed in Bambalu and Sarupsar areas on Tuesday night, which brought great relief to the people suffering from the scorching heat. In both the areas, rain was recorded along with strong winds and dusty storms, which not only brought down the temperature but also proved beneficial for the crops of the farmers.
There was heavy rain with strong winds for about half an hour in Bambalu village, due to which the roads were flooded and the weather became pleasant. At the same time, in Sarupsar at around 11:30 pm, a dust storm occurred at a speed of 35-40 km per hour, after which there was light to moderate rain for 15-20 minutes. People suffering from 40°C temperature and heat wave throughout the day got a lot of relief from this change.
According to farmers, at this time cotton and Narma crops were in dire need of water. Rain has increased moisture in the fields, which will help in crop growth and production is expected to be better. Besides, the expenditure on irrigation will also reduce.
However, due to strong winds, there are reports of tree branches breaking at some places and minor disruption in power supply. During the storm in Sarupsar, lightning also flashed, due to which people remained alert for some time.
An alert of storm and rain had already been issued by the administration. The weather cleared on Wednesday morning, although there is a possibility of strong sunlight again during the day.
Welcoming this change in the weather, the villagers have expressed the hope that such rains will continue from time to time in future also, which will benefit the crops and provide relief from the heat.
