Due to unprecedented activity of monsoon in Jharkhand, the weather pattern has completely changed. Clouds have gathered in the entire state including Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Dhanbad, Bokaro and Dumka. Ranchi Meteorological Center has issued a strict alert today, predicting heavy to extremely heavy rains in many districts of Jharkhand. According to meteorologists, due to the low pressure area formed in the Bay of Bengal and the active monsoon trough, torrential rains will continue in the state for the next few days. During this period, there is a strong possibility of strong winds blowing at a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour and lightning (thunderstorm).

Clouds will rain every day till July 20, farmers’ faces will blossom

This monsoon rain is no less than a lifesaver for the farmers of Jharkhand.

The Meteorological Department says that this activity of monsoon is not going to be limited to today only, but till July 20, there will be thunderstorms and good rains daily in almost all parts of the state.
