Mercury shot up at many places across the state by one to three degree Celsius due to dry weather conditions and north-westerly winds, a MeT official said.
Blistering heat wave gripped the western districts of Jodhpur, Barmer, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Churu, and Srigangangar as the maximum temperature in the state hovered between 45 and 46.7 degree C.

The maximum temperature elsewhere remained between 42.8 and 44 degree C including Udaipur and tribal belt of Banswara, Dungargarh and Pratapgarh.
