News India Live, Digital Desk: For the past few days, those who were saying that this time the effect of winter was not the same as it was earlier, now they may have to change their opinion. The Meteorological Department of Jharkhand has issued an alert of severe cold and ‘cold wave’ for the coming three days. The next 72 hours are going to be very challenging for the entire state.
According to the Meteorological Department, the cold winds coming from the mountains have turned their path towards Jharkhand. Its maximum impact will be seen in the capital Ranchi and surrounding areas. The temperature is falling in the morning and evening, but now the melting cold will be felt even during the day. In many districts the minimum temperature is expected to drop below 7-8 degrees.

Not only cold, fog has also increased the difficulty. Visibility may be very low for people going out of the house early in the morning, due to which those driving have been advised to exercise extreme caution. If your work is not important, try not to leave the house very early in the morning or in the dead of night.
The Meteorological Department says that the wind speed will be slightly higher for the next three days, due to which the ‘chill factor’ will increase. Meaning, even if the temperature is 10 degrees, it will feel like 6 or 7 degrees to you due to the strong cold wind.
It is most difficult for those children and elderly people who have breathing problems or joint pain. In such a situation, health experts are also saying that as much as possible, use lukewarm water and go out only after covering your ears and nose.
Overall, there is no hope of relief from cold at present. This harsh mood of nature is going to remain like this at least till the end of this week. So, light a fire or keep the heater on, because ‘real’ cold has entered Jharkhand.
