What’s inside:
Bihar is experiencing a cold wave, with forecasts indicating a drop in temperatures and fog affecting visibility and travel.
Bihar is getting really cold these days. The weather department has issued a cold wave alert for the entire state, warning that it could get even colder from December 15. For the next week, temperatures are expected to drop, especially during the night and morning hours, and many areas will likely see dense fog.
The fog is causing problems for everyone. Visibility on the roads has dropped to just 50 meters, which is making it hard for vehicles to move safely. This is also affecting train and flight operations, causing delays and disruptions. In Patna, the air quality index is showing poor levels, ranging between 151 and 333, particularly around the airport and veterinary grounds.
Looking ahead, the weather service predicts that we will see more fog in many districts, including West and East Champaran, Sitamarhi, and Gaya, over the next couple of days. The minimum temperature in many places could fall by 8 to 10 degrees Celsius during this time. After December 17, the effects of a new western disturbance will start to be felt in Bihar.
This upcoming disturbance could lead to even colder weather after December 22, with conditions similar to a ‘cold day’ and a serious cold wave. So, people should be prepared for the chilly weather and take necessary precautions when going outside.
As the cold wave sets in, everyone is advised to stay warm and be cautious while traveling. Keep an eye on the weather updates for any changes in conditions, especially if you have travel plans in the coming days.
Summary:
- Bihar is under a cold wave alert with dropping temperatures.
- Dense fog is reducing visibility to 50 meters, affecting travel.
- Air quality in Patna is poor, impacting health and safety.
- More cold weather is expected after December 17 due to a western disturbance.
