IMD Issues Weather Alert for Multiple Bihar Districts as Mild Spell Breaks
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) in Patna has issued a significant weather alert for twenty-four districts across Bihar, warning residents of impending rainfall and potential thunderstorms. This announcement comes as a brief period of mild weather conditions is set to conclude, bringing notable changes to the regional climate pattern.
Detailed District-Specific Forecast and Weather Patterns
According to the latest IMD bulletin released on Sunday, specific districts including West Champaran, East Champaran, Gopalganj, Sitamarhi, and Sheohar are particularly likely to experience thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and strong winds. The meteorological office attributes these anticipated weather changes to multiple atmospheric disturbances currently affecting northern and central India.
A western disturbance is presently moving across Jammu, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab, which is expected to influence weather patterns in Bihar through high-altitude winds. Simultaneously, another circulation persists over central Uttar Pradesh, while strong upper-level winds continue over Northeast India. The IMD has indicated that two additional disturbances are forecasted—one expected on Monday and another during the night of January 30.
Temperature Trends and Short-Term Weather Outlook
For the immediate future, weather across Bihar is predicted to remain predominantly dry over the next three days, though light rainfall may occur in parts of the northern and south-western regions thereafter. Daytime temperatures are expected to remain steady during this period, but nighttime conditions will turn noticeably colder.
Minimum temperatures are projected to drop by two to four degrees Celsius over the next forty-eight hours before gradually rising again later in the week. This temperature fluctuation represents a significant shift from recent conditions, where the weather remained dry across the state with no major changes in daytime temperatures over the past twenty-four hours.
Recent Temperature Records Across Bihar
Recent temperature data reveals notable variations across different regions of Bihar. Sabour in Bhagalpur district recorded the lowest minimum temperature at 9.6 degrees Celsius, while Kaimur registered the highest maximum temperature at 27.1 degrees Celsius. These readings provide context for the expected temperature changes as the new weather patterns develop across the state.
The IMD's comprehensive weather monitoring continues to provide crucial updates for residents, agricultural planning, and disaster preparedness across Bihar's diverse districts.
