News India Live, Digital Desk: The last week of December has started and just as we all were thinking that there would be some relief, exactly the opposite happened. When the people of Bihar woke up this morning, there was only a sheet of white mist outside the window. This severe cold has not only shivered the bones, but has also completely derailed the normal life.
The latest update is that India Meteorological Department (IMD) of Bihar ‘Orange alert’ in 26 districts Has been released. This clearly means that today there is going to be not just ordinary cold, but ‘Cold Day’ like conditions. If you are in areas like Patna, Gaya or Bhagalpur, today the feeling of melting will be greater than ever.
The fog is such that you can’t feel your hands.
The condition of the roads is such that it is becoming impossible to see 5 meters ahead even with headlights on. Due to heavy fog in Bihar, the speed of vehicles on the roads has slowed down. From Muzaffarpur to Purnia, there is silence everywhere as people are coming out of their homes only when absolutely necessary. The administration has also instructed to exercise caution till the last signal.
Why is so much melting happening?
Weather experts say that cold winds from North have dropped the temperature in Bihar. When fog and clouds mix together in the sky, sunlight cannot reach the ground and that is why we all have to take help of bonfire even in the afternoon. The speed at which the mercury is falling in Patna has reminded us of the records of the last several years.
caution is safety
This is not the time to just wear coats and sweaters, but to take care of our loved ones. This winter can prove to be the most dangerous for the elders and small children of the house. Just covering ears and hands will not work, consuming hot food and lukewarm water will act as ‘first aid’ for your health today.
There is little hope of relief for the next one or two days. So our advice is this – unless it is absolutely necessary, stay indoors, sip tea and stay safe. This winter of Bihar is going to warm us in many more colors.
