Walled city Jaipur and the adjoining areas received moderate rains this morning with a rainfall of about 5 mm, while Churu and Ganganagar recorded 0.5 mm rainfall since last night.

Minimum temperature at night in the state plummeted by one to four notches due to effect of Hudhud whereas Ganganagar on plains recorded the lowest temperature of 12.3 degree Celsius, and Mount Abu on plains a minimum of 8 degree Celsius.
