The temperature in Churu last night was recorded at 4.9 degree Celsius, about 5 degrees above the normal, a MeT report said on Sunday.
With the entry of a western disturbance (WD) and upper air cyclonic system, the temperatures rose by a few notches in most parts of the desert state, the report said.
