The weather of Jharkhand has once again taken a turn and even after the departure of monsoon in many parts of the state, the movement of clouds and seasonal movements have intensified. According to the latest and very important warning issued by the Meteorological Department (IMD), there is a strong possibility of thunderstorms and rain in about 13 major districts of the state including the capital Ranchi today, along with which a heavy alert has also been issued for strong winds and thunderstorms at many places. On one hand, this rain is expected to provide relief to the general public, troubled by the increasing humidity and heat since last few days, on the other hand, this weather has also become a matter of concern for the farmers and common citizens because this sudden monsoon or cyclonic rain can cause damage to the crops. In this special report, let us know in detail which districts of Jharkhand will see the maximum impact of rain today and what precautionary instructions have been issued by the Meteorological Department.
There will be dark clouds today in these 13 districts including Ranchi, Gumla and Khunti.
According to the official information received from the weather center Ranchi, due to the effect of the new weather system formed in the Bay of Bengal and the winds coming from North India, clouds have settled in the southern and central parts of Jharkhand. The 13 districts where maximum red and orange alerts have been issued for heavy rain, strong thunderstorm and lightning today include the capital Ranchi, Gumla, Khunti, Simdega, Lohardaga, West Singhbhum, East Singhbhum, Seraikela-Kharsawan, Ramgarh, Hazaribagh, Bokaro, Dhanbad and Chatra. In all these areas, dark clouds have started gathering in the sky since morning and there are full chances of heavy rain by afternoon or evening. Meteorologists say that during this time the wind speed can also be 30 to 40 kilometers per hour, due to which there will be a sudden drop in temperature.
Danger of lightning and storm: Administration issued advisory and warning to farmers
During the last few years in Jharkhand, many precious lives have been lost due to lightning during the rainy season, in view of which the Disaster Management Department and Meteorological Center seem to be very alert this time. The administration is continuously appealing that whenever the weather is bad and there are clouds and thunder, the common people and especially the farmers should not stand in their fields, under trees or in the open fields. Farmers working in the fields have been advised to avoid using mobile phones and take shelter in safe pucca houses or shelters. The district administration has also directed all police station areas and local administrative units to be on alert mode so that any emergency can be dealt with immediately and people can be kept safe.
Impact on agriculture and crops: Increased concern of farmers regarding ripe paddy crops
In most of the rural areas of the state, paddy crops are in their final and ripe stage at this time, and the fear of sudden torrential rains, strong storms and hailstorms has given farmers sleepless nights. Agricultural experts believe that if there are continuous rains along with strong winds, the paddy crops standing in the fields may fall on the ground, due to which the farmers may have to face huge financial losses. However, for some areas this rain is said to be beneficial for vegetables and pulses crops, but there is a danger of waterlogging due to excessive water logging. Farmers are busy taking last minute precautionary measures to protect their crops.
How will the weather of Jharkhand be in the coming days? The temperature will drop further
The Meteorological Department has predicted that after the rainy season in these 13 districts today and tomorrow, the weather will gradually start clearing, after which the real onset of cold i.e. pink cold will begin in the state. After this rain, humidity will completely disappear from the atmosphere and cool breeze will be felt in the morning and evening. This pleasant weather has brought a different pleasure for the tourists and those visiting the mountains and forests. However, in view of today’s bad weather and warning of thunderstorms, it is very important that people do not come out of their homes without any special work and strictly follow the guidelines of the Meteorological Department so that any untoward incident can be avoided.
