Patna: Bihar is experiencing a notable shift in its weather patterns as temperatures fluctuate, marking a reduction in cold over the past few days. On Sunday, significant changes were observed in several districts, with clouds gathering in Patna during the afternoon and drizzle commencing in the evening. Additionally, heavy rainfall was reported in Sitamarhi, Darbhanga, and Siwan.
In response to these evolving weather conditions, the Patna Meteorological Centre issued a yellow alert for 26 districts in the state on Monday. The alert specifically highlights the potential for lightning and sporadic rain, cautioning residents to stay informed and take necessary precautions. The Meteorological Center anticipates a rise in cold temperatures once the weather clears.
The recent developments are attributed to the impact of the most potent western disturbance of the season, which entered the Himalayas on Saturday. The disturbance has introduced the possibility of rain in the region.
The Meteorological Centre forecasts that as the western disturbance weakens, cold winds will penetrate Bihar by February 7. Consequently, a subsequent drop in minimum temperatures by 3 to 4 degrees C is anticipated, leading to a renewed sense of chilliness among residents.
