PATNA: Light to moderate rain and thunderstorm activities were witnessed in most parts of the state on Tuesday even as weathermen at Patna Meteorological Centre said showers would continue in different parts of the state till May 8.
The daily weather issued by Patna Meteorological Centre stated that light to moderate rainfall occurred at many places in the state over the last 24 hours.
India Meteorological Department (IMD) stated in its all India bulletin on Tuesday that thunderstorm accompanied with lightning and gusty winds (speed up to 30-40kmph) would be witnessed at isolated places in Bihar on Thursday and Friday.
According to Patna Metrological Centre, rain associated with thunderstorm and gusty winds (speed up to 40-50 kmph) would lash Patna and several other places in the state on Wednesday.
Officials at the meteorological centre attributed the prevailing thunderstorm activities to moisture incursion from two weather systems in and around the region. “Almost entire Bihar, except southwest and south central parts, received showers on Tuesday. Aggressive rainy conditions are likely to be witnessed in eastern parts of the state till Wednesday morning. Thereafter, the intensity of showers and thunderstorm would reduce slightly but rains along with squall and lightning is expected at a few places in the state till May 8,” an official at Patna Meteorological Centre said.
