Heavy rainfall across Chhattisgarh has triggered a chilly spell, with temperatures falling up to 8°C as Cyclone Arnab weakens over the region.
Heavy rainfall has swept across Chhattisgarh, bringing a sudden drop in temperatures that has reached up to 8°C in several districts. The cooler spell is linked to the weakening of Cyclone Arnab, which has moved away from the Indian coastline but continues to influence weather patterns in the interior states.
Meteorological authorities have noted that the combination of rain and lower temperatures is expected to persist for the next 24 to 48 hours. Residents are advised to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel, especially in rural areas where roads may become slippery.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a moderate rainfall warning for the state, citing the potential for localized flooding in low-lying regions. Power and water supply services are being monitored to ensure continuity during the wet conditions.
Local officials are coordinating with disaster management teams to prepare for any sudden weather changes. Citizens are encouraged to keep emergency kits ready and to follow updates from official weather bulletins.
