This article provides an update on the severe cold and weather conditions in Bihar, including impacts on transportation and safety advisories.
Severe cold is gripping Bihar right now, with the weather being particularly chilly. Since morning, all districts, including Patna, have been covered with clouds. It has also started to drizzle lightly, making the cold feel even harsher for those out on the streets.
The Meteorological Department has warned everyone to stay indoors due to the intense cold and dense fog. An orange alert has been issued for 22 districts, indicating that the minimum temperature could drop to around 3 degrees Celsius and that sunshine is unlikely throughout the day.
This weather has affected travel as well, with at least 8 trains running late from Patna Junction. Flights have also been delayed due to the foggy conditions. So, it’s advisable for passengers to check their schedules before heading out.
The cold wave is expected to last until the New Year, with temperatures likely to drop even further by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius in the coming days. Morning fog will be moderate to dense, and sunshine will remain weak, especially in the northern and eastern parts of Bihar.
There’s no relief from this cold in sight for the next few days due to ongoing snowfall in North-West India and the Himalayan regions. Cold winds are continuing to sweep into Bihar, making it essential for people to dress warmly and limit outdoor activities.
