Patna: After days of fluctuating weather, Bihar is expected to see more stable conditions, with dry spells forecast for most parts of the state. The Meteorological Centre in Patna has predicted a break in rainfall from March 23, bringing bright sunshine and a rise in temperature. A yellow alert has been issued for 12 districts.
According to the Met department, light to moderate rainfall may still occur in Supaul, Araria, Kishanganj, Saharsa, Madhepura, Purnia, Katihar, Bhagalpur, Banka, Jamui and Munger, with strong winds of 30-40 kmph, thunder and lightning expected.
