Once again a big and dangerous change is being seen in the weather of Jharkhand, which has created a wave of concern in the entire state. According to the latest and very serious warning issued by the Meteorological Department (IMD), about 10 major districts of the state, including the capital Ranchi and Dhanbad, known as Koylanchal, are likely to receive heavy rains with heavy thunderstorms, strong winds and severe thunderstorms during the next few hours. The Meteorological Center has issued a special warning for these areas and advised people to stay in homes and take shelter in safe places. While the people, troubled by the scorching heat for the last few days, were expecting some relief from the rain, this dangerous thunderstorm alert has increased the heartbeats of the farmers and common citizens. The administration has also instructed the disaster management departments of all the districts to be fully prepared to deal with any untoward incident.
IMD’s serious alert: The biggest danger is looming over these 10 districts
According to the latest bulletin issued by the Ranchi center of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), due to the activation of monsoon and the effect of the cyclone formed in the upper atmosphere, the weather has suddenly become severe in many parts of Jharkhand. The 10 major districts where there is the highest danger of heavy storm and lightning include the capital Ranchi, Dhanbad, Bokaro, Hazaribagh, Ramgarh, Giridih, Koderma, Chatra, Palamu and Latehar. Meteorologists say that along with the movement of clouds in these districts, strong winds can blow at a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour, which can prove dangerous for trees and mud houses. Along with this, there is the highest possibility of lightning falling from the sky during thunderstorms, due to which the Meteorological Department has appealed to the people to take full caution so that any kind of loss of life can be avoided.
Necessary precautions to be taken during lightning and storm
During the last few years in Jharkhand, many innocent people and cattle have lost their lives due to storms and lightning, due to which the Disaster Management Authority has now become extremely sensitive regarding this. It is repeatedly appealed by the Meteorological Department and the Administration that whenever there are dark clouds in the sky and there is thunder, people must follow some basic rules. Never take shelter under a large or lonely tree during inclement weather, as tall trees are most at risk of being struck by lightning. Apart from this, farmers working in kutcha houses, tin shed sheds and open fields should immediately move under a permanent house or safe shed. Avoid using mobile phones, electronic devices in the open and maintain sufficient distance from electric poles or wires, because a little carelessness can cause huge losses.
Impact on agriculture and rural areas and advice for farmers
Jharkhand is a state where a large population depends on agriculture and farming for their livelihood. This phase of sowing and maintenance of paddy and other Kharif crops is going on, hence the worries of the farmers have increased a lot due to the possibility of sudden torrential rains, strong storms and hailstorms. Due to strong winds, standing crops and green vegetables in the fields can fall, causing huge damage to the crops. Agricultural experts have advised farmers to avoid going out in the fields till the weather becomes normal and keep their harvested crops or grains covered in safe places. The state government and local administration are also continuously broadcasting warnings in rural areas through loudspeakers and media so that the damage caused by natural disasters like lightning can be brought to the minimum level and every citizen can remain safe.
Weather condition of Jharkhand and forecast for the coming days
According to the forecast of the Meteorological Department, this weather pattern in Jharkhand may remain like this for the next two to three days. Although this rain will definitely bring down the temperature in the state and people will get relief from the humid heat, but the natural disasters that come with it remain a big challenge for the administration. Meteorologists estimate that by the initial weeks of September, similar monsoon activities may be seen in different corners of the state. It is expected from the general public that they should not ignore the warnings of the Meteorological Department and exercise full caution. Until this period of storm and lightning stops completely, avoid going out of the house without any essential work, so that you and your family can remain completely safe.
