Alwar Weather: Intense Cold Returns After Rain, Hail; Wheat Benefits, Mustard Suffers
- •Alwar district experiences a severe cold wave with fog and a minimum temperature of 6 degrees Celsius after recent rain and hail.
- •The 'Mawath' rain in late January has significantly benefited Rabi crops, particularly wheat, gram, and mustard, by increasing moisture.
- •Farmers will see a 5-10% increase in production for most crops and reduced irrigation needs, leading to 25-30% less electricity consumption.
- •Mustard crop faces approximately 5% damage due to frost, especially to immature pods, as confirmed by agricultural experts.
- •The Meteorological Department predicts another weather system after December 31, bringing rain and strong winds, potentially benefiting wheat but harming mustard.
Why It Matters: Alwar sees renewed cold; rain benefits wheat and gram with increased yield, but frost damages mustard.
