The Ranchi office of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather update for Jharkhand, predicting specific conditions across the state. According to the forecast released on Tuesday, residents in certain regions should prepare for precipitation and temperature changes in the coming days.
Rainfall Predictions for Northwestern Jharkhand
Four districts in the northwestern part of Jharkhand—Garhwa, Palamu, Chatra, and Latehar—are likely to experience very light to light rainfall on Wednesday. This isolated precipitation is expected to be confined to these areas, while the remaining parts of the state are anticipated to have dry weather conditions.
In addition to the rainfall, shallow fog and mist are likely to be experienced during the morning hours, potentially affecting visibility and daily routines. The IMD advises caution for early morning travelers and outdoor activities.
