What Will the Weather Be Like on Holi?

Rajasthan residents are excited about the upcoming Holi festival in mid-March. However, this year, Holi will be marked by intense heat. The sky will remain clear during Holi, with bright sunshine. In western Rajasthan (Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bikaner), temperatures could reach 38-39 degrees Celsius, potentially causing heatwave-like conditions in the afternoon.

There might be a slight coolness in the early morning and late at night, but the daytime will be entirely warm. Experts advise caution when venturing out in the afternoon due to the rising temperatures and to drink plenty of water. Along with the colours of Holi, remember to protect your skin from the strong sun.
