Patna: Rains continued to lash capital Patna and other parts of the state for a second consecutive day on Wednesday, bringing the chill back with mercury plunging three to four notches below normal.
Attributing this to a series of cyclonic circulation over north-west Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, besides western disturbances, the weathermen have predicted that light rain will continue over north-east and south-east Bihar on Thursday, even as it would recede from the entire region.
In its daily weather bulletin, Patna Meteorological Centre stated that light to moderate rainfall with thunderstorm and lightning occurred at most places in the southern parts of Bihar. Light shower was also registered at one or two places of north-west and north-east Bihar during the last 24-hours.
Patna on Wednesday received 13mm rainfall till 5.30pm, while the maximum rain was recorded at Rafiganj with 58.6mm, followed by Nawada (21.5mm), Madanpur (21.4mm), Mohania (19.8mm), Jahanabad (19.8mm), Tarari (19.8mm), Charpokhiri (19.4mm), Kaler (18.8mm), Bihta (18.8mm), Kako (18.6mm) and Bhabhua (18.6mm).
As far as temperature was concerned, Motihari was the coldest in the state with a minimum of 10 degrees Celsius. Patna was the hottest with a maximum of 21.4 degrees C, however, four notches below normal. The minimum temperature in the state capital, on the other hand, increased by five notches above normal at 17.3 degrees C. The minimum range of the humidity also increased up to 91%.
The Met office forecast that the cloud cover over the state will be there during the next 24 hours, and the minimum temperature, which has risen over the region, will again decline under the influence of north-westerly winds. “However, the day temperatures are likely to rise and it will hover in the range of 26-28 degrees C. Fair weather conditions with sunshine are likely from Thursday in some parts of the state,” said duty officer Kumar Gaurav.
Meanwhile, a Yellow alert was issued by the weathermen about likely dense fog at one or two places over north-central and north-eastern parts of the state on Thursday. The local Met office have also predicted that another spell of rain is likely to hit the state by February 21 as another western disturbance is going to hit the western Himalayan region on February 17.
