Precautionary Measures:

In response to the changing weather patterns, the Meteorological Department has urged residents to remain vigilant and cautious. Individuals caught outdoors are advised to seek shelter in permanent structures immediately. Additionally, it is recommended to steer clear of tall trees and electric poles. Farmers are advised to refrain from venturing into their fields until the weather clears up.

Cause of Weather Fluctuations:

Meteorologists attribute the current weather fluctuations to the formation of a cyclonic circulation area around Jharkhand and Gangetic West Bengal. The influx of moist easterly winds from the Bay of Bengal has resulted in overcast skies and sporadic rainfall across the state. Notably, many districts have recorded a drop in temperature, with Patna registering a maximum temperature of 32.5 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, while Buxar recorded the highest temperature at 37.4 degrees Celsius.
