Bihar is set to experience a significant change in weather over the next 48 hours as the Patna Meteorological Centre has issued a fresh alert. The state is expected to witness storms, rain, and lightning across various districts. While this change will bring a much-needed drop in temperature by 3 to 4 degrees Celsius, providing relief from the scorching heat, it also brings the threat of hailstorms in several areas.
What are the specific alerts issued for Bihar?
The weather department has categorized the alerts based on the severity of the expected weather conditions in different regions. An Orange Alert is currently in place for North-East Bihar, while a Yellow Alert has been issued for the West-North parts of the state. The authorities have highlighted the following risks:
- Possibility of thunderstorms and lightning in most districts
- Heavy rain and hailstorms expected in specific pockets
- Strong winds likely to accompany the rain
- A notable dip in the maximum temperature by 3-4 degrees
Advisories for farmers and the general public
The official department has shared specific instructions to minimize the impact of the bad weather. Farmers have been particularly advised to take steps to protect their standing crops from potential damage caused by rain and hail. For the common citizens, the temperature drop will offer a break from the heat, but they are encouraged to stay indoors during lightning and thunder.
