Humid Conditions Continue in Patna

Despite occasional cloud cover, intense sunlight during the day made weather conditions quite uncomfortable in Patna. The presence of purvaiya (easterly) winds added to the humidity, resulting in a muggy atmosphere.

Local residents in Patna expressed discomfort due to the ongoing sultry weather. Outdoor activity remained limited during the daytime, especially in areas with minimal rainfall.

Outlook for the Next 48 Hours

The IMD has indicated that monsoon activity will likely increase across Bihar in the coming days. The next 48 hours may bring more scattered rainfall and thunderstorm activity in several parts of the state.

Meteorologists expect isolated showers in central and southern districts, while northeastern districts might receive moderate to heavy rainfall. The warning for six districts remains in effect, and residents are advised to take necessary precautions.

Advisory for Residents

Given the possibility of heavy showers, local authorities in vulnerable districts are on alert. Farmers are advised to prepare for field drainage and avoid waterlogging in paddy fields. Urban residents are urged to stay cautious in low-lying areas prone to water accumulation.

The state government may issue further advisories if the rainfall pattern intensifies. Emergency teams are on standby, especially in areas that have previously faced flooding.

The weather in Bihar is shifting as monsoon systems gradually strengthen. With Patna experiencing partial cloud cover and drizzle chances, and six districts facing heavy rain alerts, the next few days are crucial.
