Weather
Bihar’s weather is undergoing significant changes as the state braces for varying weather conditions across its regions. As per the latest forecast, the northern parts of Bihar are likely to experience rainfall today, Friday, with some areas witnessing moderate to heavy showers. On the other hand, the southern districts, including Patna, remain under the threat of thunderstorms, which may bring lightning and sudden downpours.
Weather Conditions in North Bihar
In the northern districts of Bihar, the weather will be affected by the prevailing atmospheric disturbances that are expected to bring rainfall. Places like Kishanganj, Purnia, Katihar, and Araria may witness scattered showers throughout the day. The intensity of rainfall is likely to increase in the evening hours, as the moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal strengthen.
Although the rain is expected to provide relief from the humid conditions, it may also cause some inconvenience. People should be cautious while traveling, especially in areas that may experience heavy rainfall and waterlogging. The rain is also expected to cool the region’s temperature, making it more pleasant.
Thunderstorm Risk in South Bihar
Contrasting with the northern part, the southern regions of Bihar, including Patna, Gaya, Nalanda, and others, are at risk of thunderstorms throughout the day. The primary concern here is the possibility of lightning strikes, which could be dangerous, especially in open areas. People in these districts are advised to stay indoors during periods of intense thunderstorms.
The atmospheric conditions in the southern districts are conducive to the development of thunderclouds, which can lead to sudden and intense electrical storms. Though there may not be much rainfall, the threat of lightning makes this a potentially hazardous situation. Additionally, the gusty winds accompanying the thunderstorm could cause some disruptions in power supply and tree fall incidents.
Weather Advisory
The weather department has issued a warning for residents of the southern districts of Bihar to be cautious and avoid outdoor activities, particularly in the afternoon and evening. It is advisable to stay away from tall structures, open fields, and bodies of water during thunderstorm activity. Travelers are also urged to stay updated on weather conditions and seek shelter if a thunderstorm strikes unexpectedly.
Meanwhile, the northern districts can expect a more favorable climate, with a reduction in humidity levels, which will be a relief to residents facing the summer heat. However, the ongoing rains could lead to temporary disruptions in transportation due to waterlogging and localized flooding in some low-lying areas.
Looking Ahead
The weather conditions in Bihar are expected to remain dynamic over the next few days. Meteorologists predict that the rainfall in the north will gradually subside by the weekend, while the thunderstorm risk in the south is likely to continue intermittently. The overall weather pattern suggests that this phase of unsettled weather could bring a much needed respite from the extreme temperatures of the preceding weeks.
Residents of Bihar are encouraged to stay informed through local news and weather updates to ensure their safety during these unpredictable weather conditions.
