Bihar: Cyclone Alters Course, Rapid Temperature Fluctuations Expected Tonight

PATNA: As the cyclone in the Bay of Bengal shifts its trajectory towards Chittagong, Bangladesh, meteorologists breathe a sigh of relief, anticipating a reduced impact on the coastal areas of India. However, Bihar and surrounding regions are bracing for rapid changes in the weather, particularly in the evening.

Foggy Mornings Expected:

The morning forecast for Patna and most parts of the state predicts prevailing fog, with lighter levels expected in the Himalayan foothills. The chilly conditions in the morning and evening are likely to persist, creating a shivering start to the day.

Cyclone’s Impact on Bihar Diminished:

With the cyclone veering away, experts believe Bihar will be spared from its adverse effects. The shift in direction towards Chittagong signifies a positive turn in the weather scenario for the coastal regions of India.

Temperature Plunge in the Evening:

Presently, the entire state, including the capital, is witnessing rapid and substantial changes in weather patterns. Notably, a sudden drop in temperature, particularly in the evening, is a prevailing phenomenon. The maximum temperature may plummet by four to five degrees Celsius within just two hours after sunset.

Health Concerns and Humidity Surge:

Such drastic temperature fluctuations within a short span can pose health risks, emphasizing the need for precaution. Additionally, meteorologists note a significant increase in humidity levels post-sunrise, contributing to the overall weather unpredictability. They predict these fluctuations to persist until around November 15, after which the weather is expected to stabilize.

Today’s Forecast:

The morning hours are anticipated to witness prevailing fog across the state, including Patna, with lighter fog in the Himalayan foothills. The continuous monitoring of weather conditions becomes crucial as Bihar navigates through this period of rapid atmospheric changes.
