What’s inside:
This article discusses the current weather situation in Bihar, including heavy rainfall and its effects on various districts.
Right now, Bihar is experiencing active monsoon weather with continuous rainfall in different districts. While many are happy about the rain, people in Patna are feeling quite uncomfortable due to the heat and humidity. The weather department has predicted a drop in temperature over the next few days.
Heavy rains are expected to continue until September 17, with an orange alert issued for the possibility of intense rainfall. This means that residents should prepare for strong winds and continuous rain, which could disrupt daily life. Even though it will be cooler, there’s a chance of flooding and waterlogging in some areas.
On Saturday, several districts, including Araria and Kishanganj, are likely to face heavy rainfall. Other areas like Supaul, Purnia, Jamui, and Nawada may also experience significant rain. North Bihar will feel the impact the most, but even South Bihar won’t be spared.
The meteorological forecast indicates that between now and September 17, 24 districts in North Bihar will receive heavy rainfall. Patna and Gaya may see intermittent rains, but overall, the monsoon is quite strong due to a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal. However, Bihar still has a rainfall deficit of about 31% this season.
Additionally, a yellow alert has been issued for 27 districts due to lightning and strong winds, reaching speeds of 40 km/h. Although Patna has not seen rain in the last 24 hours, the skies are cloudy and rain is expected soon, bringing some relief from the humidity.
