Cold weather conditions are expected to intensify across Bihar over the next three days. The Meteorological Department has forecast a noticeable drop in temperatures due to strong westerly winds. Morning and evening hours will feel significantly colder. However, clear skies and bright sunshine during the day may provide temporary relief.
According to weather officials, an anti-cyclone system has formed over Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. This system has created high air pressure at the center and low pressure around it. As a result, the speed of westerly winds has increased. These winds are bringing colder air into the region, leading to a decline in both maximum and minimum temperatures.
Anti-Cyclone System Influencing Bihar Weather
Meteorologists explained that the presence of an anti-cyclone is the main reason behind the changing weather pattern. High pressure at the center forces air outward toward low-pressure areas. This movement strengthens westerly winds across the plains of North India.
The intensified winds are causing a gradual cooling effect. Bihar and neighboring Uttar Pradesh are experiencing this impact. Due to this system, temperatures are expected to fall by one to three degrees Celsius in many districts.
Despite the cold winds, there will be no major cloud cover. Daytime sunlight will remain strong. This will help reduce discomfort during afternoon hours.
Temperature Drop Recorded Across Several Cities
A fall in both maximum and minimum temperatures was recorded across most cities of Bihar on Thursday. Weather data shows noticeable variation across districts.
The maximum temperature in the state ranged between 19.0 and 29.2 degrees Celsius. The minimum temperature stayed between 10.3 and 15.9 degrees Celsius. These figures reflect a clear cooling trend compared to previous days.
The lowest temperature in Bihar was recorded at 10.3 degrees Celsius in Ziradei of Siwan district. Meanwhile, Gopalganj reported the highest temperature at 29.2 degrees Celsius. These extremes highlight regional differences caused by wind flow and local conditions.
Cold Mornings and Evenings Likely to Continue
Residents across Bihar are expected to feel stronger cold conditions during early mornings and late evenings. The chill will be more pronounced due to continuous westerly winds. People stepping out during these hours may require warm clothing.
Experts say the wind chill effect will make temperatures feel lower than actual readings. Rural and open areas may experience colder sensations compared to urban centers.
Senior citizens and children are advised to take precautions. Prolonged exposure to cold winds may increase health risks during this period.
Patna to Experience Strong Morning Chill
In the state capital Patna, cold conditions will remain noticeable for the next two to three days. Morning and evening hours will feel colder due to persistent westerly winds.
On Thursday, there was no significant change in Patna’s maximum temperature. However, the cold was felt more strongly in the morning hours. This was mainly due to increased wind speed rather than a sharp temperature drop.
Weather officials said that similar conditions will continue. The city will witness chilly mornings followed by relatively comfortable afternoons.
Daytime Sunshine to Bring Temporary Relief
Although cold winds will dominate mornings and evenings, daytime weather is expected to remain pleasant. Clear skies will allow sunshine to warm the surface. This will provide relief to people during working hours.
The contrast between cold mornings and sunny afternoons will remain a key feature of Bihar’s weather pattern over the next few days. Farmers and outdoor workers may find daytime conditions suitable for activities.
However, temperatures will begin falling again after sunset. Night-time cold will persist due to uninterrupted wind flow.
Impact on Daily Life and Agriculture
The drop in temperature may slightly affect daily routines across the state. People are adjusting travel plans to avoid early morning exposure. Markets and public places are seeing increased movement during daytime hours.
Agricultural experts say the weather remains favorable for winter crops. Cool nights and sunny days support crop growth. No adverse impact has been reported so far.
However, farmers are advised to monitor weather updates regularly. Sudden changes in wind patterns may influence soil moisture and crop conditions.
Weather Outlook for the Coming Days
The Meteorological Department predicts stable conditions with no rainfall. The anti-cyclone system is expected to remain active for the next few days. As a result, cold winds will continue to affect Bihar.
A gradual rise in temperature may occur after this phase ends. Until then, residents should remain cautious during colder hours.
Weather officials will continue monitoring the system. Further updates will be issued if conditions change significantly.
Advisory for Residents
People are advised to wear warm clothing, especially during mornings and evenings. Those with respiratory or cold-related health issues should take extra care.
Morning walks should be scheduled later in the day if possible. Adequate hydration and sunlight exposure during daytime are recommended.
The weather department has urged citizens to stay informed through official forecasts. Following advisories can help reduce discomfort during the cold spell.
