Patna: A low-pressure area has developed over the Bay of Bengal, bringing moist easterly winds to Bihar and maintaining relatively normal weather conditions. The capital, Patna, and its surrounding areas are expected to experience cloudy skies with a reduced likelihood of rainfall in Gaya, Jehanabad, Nalanda, Sheikhpura, Siwan, and the southwestern parts of Patna.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) in Patna has issued warnings for thunderstorms and rain across most northern districts. The IMD forecasts that, if current weather patterns persist through May 28, residents may enjoy relief from the recent scorching heat.
There is also a possibility of isolated thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and winds reaching speeds of 30-40 kilometers per hour in various parts of the state. Over the past 24 hours, Purnia recorded the highest rainfall at 96.4 mm.
Due to the weather changes, the maximum temperature in Patna and other districts has remained below 40 degrees Celsius. A notable decrease in maximum temperatures was observed in 21 districts in northern Bihar, while temperatures in the remaining districts, including Patna, showed an increase.
Residents are advised to stay informed about weather updates and take necessary precautions during this period of unsettled weather.
