What’s inside:
This article talks about the severe cold and fog affecting Bihar, including details on weather conditions and their impact on daily life.
Bihar is currently facing a cold wave, with temperatures dropping significantly. Many places like Patna, Gopalganj, and Bettiah are experiencing dense fog, making it hard to see on the roads. This chilly weather is affecting daily life for residents across the state.
The Meteorological Department has reported that the minimum temperature is falling and the cold is expected to worsen in the coming days. Areas in the south-west of Bihar, such as Arwal and Gaya, are likely to see temperatures between 8°C to 10°C, which is much lower than usual. Cold-day conditions are expected to continue for at least the next 24 hours.
Due to the severe cold and fog, people in rural areas are starting their day much later. Farmers and laborers are finding it difficult to work in the fields early in the morning. In urban areas, people are gathering around bonfires and using heaters to stay warm, with many bus and train stations setting up bonfires for the comfort of travelers.
According to the weather forecast, Patna will have light to moderate fog in the mornings. While the sun may come out later, the cold will persist throughout the day. There is also a warning for very low visibility in several districts, including Champaran and Bhagalpur.
Experts predict that the fog and cold weather will continue for a few more days due to changes in wind direction and increased humidity. People are advised to avoid unnecessary travel in the mornings and evenings and to dress warmly as this cold spell is likely to stick around for a while.
