News India Live, Digital Desk: Did you too not feel like getting out of bed this morning? If yes, then sir, it is not your fault, the weather in Bihar has now started showing its real ‘Winter Avatar’. The slight ‘pink cold’ that was being felt for the last few days is now gradually turning into ‘bone-shivering cold’.
The latest report of the Meteorological Department and the direction of the winds are telling how the weather is going to be in Bihar for the next one week. If you are thinking that winter has just started, then wait, the next 7 days are very important for you. Let us know the complete details, in very simple language.
1. Fog ‘lockdown’ begins (Fog Alert)
The morning now begins not with the rays of the sun, but with a blanket of fog. Visibility has reduced significantly, especially in rural areas and on highways. Cities like Patna, Muzaffarpur and Bhagalpur are covered with smog in the morning. This is a slightly risky time for drivers. The Meteorological Department says that fog may become denser in the next few days, which may cause brakes on the speed of trains and flights.
2. Next 7 days: Temperature will fall, chill will increase
According to meteorologists, now the minimum temperature will drop rapidly due to westerly winds. The mercury may drop by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius in the next 7 days. This means clearly – the nights will be colder now. Like always, the wrath of cold is being felt the most in Gaya district.
3. Why is the weather changing?
The snowfall in the mountains has a direct impact on the plains. Icy winds coming from the Himalayas are entering Bihar, due to which the cold has increased. The sun is shining during the day, but its heat is no longer what it was two weeks ago. As the evening approaches, people have started going back to wearing sweaters and jackets.
4. Be careful before going out
With the changing weather, the risk of viral fever and cold also increases. Doctors are advising to protect children and the elderly, especially during morning and evening hours. If you go for a morning walk, cover your ears. Use fog lights while driving and keep the speed slow, because ‘if caution is removed, accident occurs’.
5. Now it’s time to light the bonfire
Bonfires have now started burning in village chaupals. It will be cold and harsh in the coming days. So take out those thick blankets and quilts from your cupboard which you had kept exposed to sunlight. The real fun (or punishment!) of winter is about to happen in the next one week.
