Jaipur: Cyclonic storm Nilofar is most likely to hit western regions of Rajasthan by this evening causing moderate to heavy rains, a MeT official said.

Rains are likely to occur in Jalore, Barmer, and Jaisalmer districts due to Nilofar's residual effect, state MeT Director B N Vishnoi said, adding, rainy weather would probably also cover Jodhpur and Pali districts by night.
