Bihar is currently experiencing dense fog in many areas during the morning hours. The weather department has issued an alert regarding the cold wave, stating that it will intensify from January 19. There will be a significant drop in temperatures, with minimum temperatures possibly falling by 2-3 degrees Celsius. There is also a possibility of a strong western disturbance around January 26, which may bring rainfall to several districts of Bihar between January 26 and 27. The weather department has issued a cold day alert along with the rain. The cold wave is expected to continue to increase in intensity.
In the past 24 hours, there has been a decrease in maximum temperatures in 21 cities of Bihar, including Patna. The district of Araria recorded the lowest temperature at 7 degrees Celsius. Patna recorded a minimum temperature of 10.4 degrees Celsius and a maximum temperature of 13.7 degrees Celsius. According to weather scientist Dr. S.N. Pandey, the impact of the cold wave will continue due to the jet stream until January 20. The state has been experiencing consecutive cold days since 2018, with a strong layer of fog covering the surface up to two kilometers above the ground. This fog, combined with dust particles, is preventing sunlight from reaching the surface, resulting in lower temperatures in most areas of the state. Normally, the active western disturbance during December and January would bring winter rainfall and clear the sky. However, this year is different, and Bihar is expected to experience cold days and fog in one or two locations for the next three days.
In such weather conditions, there is a constriction in the arteries of the body. This constriction can also occur in the arteries of the heart, leading to increased blood pressure. Additionally, there is a risk of reduced blood flow due to the constriction, which can result in tissue damage and an increased risk of heart attacks. People with diabetes or those above the age of 60 should take extra precautions to protect themselves from exposure to the cold. It is advised to dress warmly and avoid sudden changes in external temperature. People with existing high blood pressure should continue taking their medication, and regular check-ups are recommended for anyone feeling abnormal symptoms.
In Short, Bihar is currently experiencing a cold wave with dense fog in many areas. The temperatures are expected to drop further, and there is a possibility of rainfall in some districts. It is important for people to take precautions to protect themselves from the cold, especially those with existing health conditions. Regular check-ups and medication adherence are crucial during this time.
