Bihar Weather Update: Rain and Lightning Alert in Some Areas, Clouds to Remain Over Patna and Other Districts Bihar is experiencing erratic weather conditions, with rain and lightning alerts issued for several districts. The state capital, Patna, along with other regions, is expected to have cloudy skies for the next 24 hours, with isolated instances of rainfall. Meteorological forecasts indicate that the weather system will remain active, leading to fluctuating temperatures and potential for further precipitation. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of heavy rainfall in specific areas, including parts of the state where the monsoon season is still active. This is attributed to the influence of the Himalayan region, where cloud formation and rainfall are likely to impact the plains. Additionally, the Bay of Bengal is expected to contribute to increased humidity, further enhancing the likelihood of rain. Temperature variations are also expected, with the state experiencing a mix of cooler and warmer conditions. The IMD has noted that the weather system will gradually stabilize from March 12-13, leading to clearer skies and stronger sunlight. However, temperatures are projected to rise in the following weeks, bringing back the heat that has been absent in recent days.
