This article shares updates on the cold weather in Bihar and its effects on daily life and crops.
Bihar is currently experiencing a really cold spell. The night temperatures are hovering between 5°C to 10°C, and for the past week, the minimum temperatures have stayed in single digits. Just last night, it dropped to 8.2°C. Thankfully, the westerly winds aren’t blowing as fiercely anymore.
Weather experts believe that since the winds have slowed down, there might be a slight rise in temperature. This could bring some much-needed relief from the biting cold. On Wednesday, it is expected that there will be fog in the mornings and evenings, but sunny weather during the day may help a bit.
During the day, temperatures are likely to reach between 26°C to 32°C, while the night might see temperatures from 12°C to 18°C. However, with the reduced wind speed, the drop in temperature should stop, but this could also lead to increased pollution levels in the air.
The cold and fog are having a negative impact on vegetable crops, especially due to the dew in the mornings. Visibility has also been quite poor in many areas. Recently, Purnia recorded a high of 31.4°C during the day, while Kaimur saw a low of 8.2°C at night.
As the weather is expected to get a little better with some sunshine, it is important for people to stay warm during the chilly evenings. The weather department has issued a rain alert, so everyone should be prepared for any sudden changes.
