The morning fog has been noticeable in several areas, including Patna and other parts of the state.

As per the weather department’s prediction, there won’t be any significant changes in temperature over the next two days in most parts of Bihar. However, after that, there will be a gradual dip in the minimum temperatures, signaling a more intense cold spell. People have been advised to wear warm clothes and be cautious when stepping outside during the early hours and evenings.
