News India Live, Digital Desk: The weather in Jharkhand has once again changed, due to which the people of the state are trapped in the double crisis of ‘fire and water’.

This indifference has not only affected the life of common people, but has also increased the concern regarding farming.

Mercury crosses 45 degrees in Kolhan: ‘Yellow alert’ of heat wave issued

The southern and western parts of Jharkhand are currently burning like a furnace. The temperature in Jamshedpur, Chaibasa and Daltonganj has reached close to 44 to 45 degrees Celsius. Weather Center Ranchi has issued a ‘yellow alert’ of heat wave for Seraikela-Kharsawan, East and West Singhbhum as well as Palamu and Garhwa districts. In the afternoon there is silence on the streets due to hot winds. Meteorologists say that this rise in temperature is being seen due to dry westerly winds.

Mood will change suddenly: Dust storm will blow at a speed of 40-50 km.

It is a matter of relief that amidst this heat, Lord Indra may be kind in some districts. According to the Meteorological Department, due to moisture coming from the Bay of Bengal, the weather may change in the north-eastern and central parts of the state (Ranchi, Bokaro, Hazaribagh, Dhanbad). Strong winds with a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour may occur at isolated places during the next 48 hours. There is also a strong possibility of lightning and hail at some places, due to which the temperature may drop by 2-3 degrees.

Advisory for farmers and common people: Be alert

The Meteorological Department has advised farmers to keep the harvested crops in safe places, because sudden storm and hailstorm can cause huge damage to the crops. An appeal has also been made to the common people not to take shelter under trees or near electric poles during bad weather. Stay in safe pucca houses especially during thunderstorms. To avoid heat stroke, instructions have been given to drink as much water as possible and avoid direct exposure to sunlight in the afternoon.
