Meteorological data shows that unusually high temperatures persisted across Bihar throughout November, extending the summer heat into the post‑monsoon period.
The state weather department reported that average daytime temperatures in Bihar remained well above the seasonal norm for the month of November. While most parts of northern India began to experience a gradual cooling, several districts in Bihar continued to record temperatures that typically belong to the peak summer months.
Officials said the prolonged heat is linked to a delayed retreat of the monsoon trough and a persistent high‑pressure system over the region. The situation has raised concerns among farmers, who fear that the lingering heat could affect the drying of paddy fields and delay the sowing of winter crops.
Health authorities have issued advisories urging residents to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and seek medical attention for heat‑related ailments. The department will continue to monitor temperature trends and issue updates as the season progresses.
