Over the past four years, Bihar has experienced a decrease in rainfall during the monsoon season.

The Meteorological Department has observed a significant decrease in maximum temperatures in many districts of the state due to intermittent rainfall. Most districts recorded temperatures below 40 degrees Celsius in the last 24 hours, providing some relief from the heat.

According to weather experts, the monsoon trough extends from Ganganager, Hisar, and Dehri to the northeastern Bay of Bengal. Additionally, there was a cyclonic circulation around Jharkhand. The sea level has risen up to 3.8 kilometers above sea level in the regions around West Bengal.
