Recent Earthquakes Near Jaisalmer
Latest: M5.8 near 665km W of Bikaner, Rajasthan, India (17 Oct 2026, 10:37 AM)
- M5.8 · 665km W of Bikaner, Rajasthan, India17 Oct 2026, 10:37 AM
How is Jaisalmer's AQI calculated?
The Air Quality Index combines PM2.5, PM10, NO₂, SO₂, CO and O₃ readings from CPCB-monitored stations into one 0–500 score, using whichever pollutant reads worst as the overall number rather than an average of all of them. Today the dominant pollutant driving that number in Jaisalmer is PM10. Jaisalmer's current AQI of 109 falls in the "Moderate" band (101–200).
Is Jaisalmer's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Jaisalmer is at Moderate today (AQI 109). Sensitive groups (children, elderly, asthma/heart conditions) should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Jaisalmer?
Petrol is ₹114.15/L, diesel ₹99.30/L, for Jaisalmer. Fuel prices are revised daily and can vary slightly by station. The base crude and refinery cost is the same nationwide - state VAT and cess are what make petrol cheaper or pricier just across a state line.
Why does Jaisalmer's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Jaisalmer's price tracks the same international gold market and the day's USD/INR exchange rate as everywhere else in India.
Are banks open in Jaisalmer today?
No - banks in Rajasthan are closed today (Sunday).
What is Rahu Kalam in Jaisalmer today?
Rahu Kalam in Jaisalmer today runs from 3:59 PM to 5:25 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Jaisalmer's Weather and AQI?
Jaisalmer, the 'Golden City', sits deep in the Thar Desert and is built almost entirely around desert tourism - its living fort is part of the Hill Forts of Rajasthan UNESCO World Heritage Site, and camel treks to the Sam sand dunes are one of the most popular desert experiences in India. This is arguably the most weather-defined tourism economy on this list: the desert itself is the product.
Desert Safari Tourism Impact
Camel treks and overnight desert camps run entirely outdoors, and Jaisalmer's summer heat is severe enough that almost the entire desert-tourism trade shuts down or shifts to night safaris between April and June. Track Jaisalmer weather before booking a desert camp or camel trek.
Seasonal Guide
Oct-Mar: Peak Desert Tourism Season - Warm days and cold nights - virtually all desert-safari bookings fall in this window.
Apr-Jun: Extreme Heat - Among the harshest conditions of any Indian tourist destination, regularly past 45°C.
Jul-Sep: Sparse Monsoon - Minimal but locally significant rainfall; check Jaisalmer AQI during dust-storm-prone months.
Data Methodology
Weather and AQI figures are drawn from public government monitoring sources and refreshed regularly. See Rajasthan weather and AQI for how Jaisalmer compares with other cities in the state.
