What’s inside:
This article talks about the cold wave and fog situation in Bihar, along with air quality updates in Patna.
Bihar is feeling the chill as winter sets in. The Meteorological Department is warning everyone about cold waves, especially from December 15. Right now, temperatures are fluctuating across different districts, and it seems like it’s going to get colder during the nights and mornings for the coming week.
People need to be careful as dense fog is expected in many areas. This fog can make it hard to see while driving, especially in the morning. The cold is likely to increase, and the Meteorological Department has said that visibility could drop to as low as 50 meters in some places due to the fog.
In Patna, the air quality isn’t looking good either. The Air Quality Index (AQI) has gone up to levels between 151 and 333, which is unhealthy. Areas near the airport and other busy spots are particularly affected, making it tough for traffic to move smoothly. Flights and trains might also face delays because of low visibility.
As for the weather forecast, in the next couple of days, districts like West and East Champaran, Sitamarhi, and Muzaffarpur are likely to experience moderate to dense fog during the night and morning hours. Minimum temperatures in many areas may stay between 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, so everyone should bundle up.
So, if you’re out and about, keep an eye on the weather updates. It’s best to plan your travel early in the day and stay warm. The cold wave and fog situation will be monitored closely, and further alerts will be issued as needed.
