Patna: A slight increase in cold conditions has been recorded across Bihar following recent rainfall, with residents in Patna and several other districts waking up to foggy conditions and a sharp morning chill on Friday.
Meteorological officials said partial fog was likely to persist in most parts of the state, while a warning for dense fog during morning and late evening hours has been issued for five districts in north Bihar — East Champaran, West Champaran, Madhubani, Supaul and Saran.
Light to moderate fog is expected in Patna and many other districts. Over the next two days, minimum temperatures across the state are forecast to range between 9°C and 14°C, while maximum temperatures are likely to hover between 22°C and 28°C.

The weather is expected to remain largely unchanged for the next three days, according to the India Meteorological Department. Light cloud cover, foggy mornings and occasional strong winds are likely to continue, particularly in districts where a yellow alert has been issued. Officials said the winds could lead to a further drop in perceived temperatures.
In Patna, the weather remained stable through Friday. The morning was cold and foggy, but sunshine by midday brought temporary relief. However, strong winds in the evening intensified the chill. Similar conditions are expected to prevail, with minimum temperatures likely to stay between 8°C and 10°C and maximum temperatures between 22°C and 24°C.
Meteorologists attributed the fluctuating winter conditions to the combined influence of a western disturbance and moisture-laden winds affecting the region. These systems, they said, are responsible for the increased cold, the possibility of light rain in some areas and the persistence of fog due to higher moisture levels in the air.
Residents have been advised to remain cautious during early morning and late evening hours, particularly in fog-prone districts where visibility may be significantly reduced.
