The weather of Bihar has once again taken a turn and the process of rain has intensified due to the movement of clouds in different parts of the state. According to the latest update released by the Meteorological Center (IMD), a total of 18 districts including the state capital Patna and Gaya may see heavy rains and strong winds during the next few hours. After this warning of the Meteorological Department, the Disaster Management Department and the local administration have become completely alert. While on one hand the general public, suffering from the scorching heat and humidity, is feeling relieved to a great extent due to this activation of monsoon, on the other hand this changed nature of weather has also increased the concerns of farmers and common citizens. The continuously falling temperatures and gusts of cold winds have made the atmosphere completely pleasant, but at the same time the Meteorological Department has appealed to the people to take full caution so that any unpleasant situation can be avoided.
Winds will blow at a speed of 40 km per hour and there is serious danger of lightning
According to the information given by the Meteorological Department, in the 18 districts where rain alert has been issued, the wind speed can be 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. Along with strong storm, there is a strong possibility of thunder and lightning. Meteorologists say that due to the friction of clouds and abundant amount of moisture in the atmosphere, the incidence of thunderstorms can increase rapidly, which can prove fatal for both humans and cattle. In the last few days, many tragic accidents due to lightning have occurred in various rural areas of the state, keeping this in mind the administration is continuously issuing warnings. The Meteorological Department has especially advised farmers, laborers and people traveling under the open sky that whenever the weather is bad, they should immediately take shelter under a permanent house or safe shelter and not stand near trees at all.
How will be the weather pattern in Patna, Gaya and surrounding districts?
Apart from the capital Patna and the historical city Gaya, this aggressive form of weather is especially being seen in the districts of southern and central Bihar like Nalanda, Nawada, Jehanabad, Aurangabad, Rohtas and Kaimur. There are clouds in the sky since morning and heavy rain has started at many places, due to which the situation of waterlogging on the roads has also started. Due to lack of proper drainage system, common pedestrians and drivers are facing huge traffic jams and problems due to water filling in low lying areas. The Meteorological Department estimates that this cloud cover will persist in most parts of the state for the next 24 to 48 hours and this period of intermittent rain may continue. There has also been a huge drop in temperature by 3 to 4 degrees Celsius, due to which the weather has become pleasant, but due to humidity, sultry winds are also troubling people.
Mixed effect of weather conditions for farming and farmers
Bihar is an agricultural state and most of its rural economy depends on paddy cultivation and other monsoon crops. In such a situation, while this rain is like a new lease of life for paddy plantation and standing crops, on the other hand, there is a danger of standing crops falling due to strong winds. Agricultural experts have advised farmers to pay special attention to water management in the fields so that crops do not rot due to excessive waterlogging. Apart from this, in view of this weather pattern, the general public has also been advised to avoid unnecessary travelling. The disaster management department is keeping a close watch on the ever-changing weather conditions and relief teams at the district level have also been kept on alert mode to deal with any emergency.
