The India Meteorological Department has warned of scattered showers and thunderstorms across Jharkhand, with the capital Ranchi likely to see intermittent rain until October 4.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an advisory on Monday indicating that scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will affect most parts of Jharkhand through October 4. The bulletin highlights that the weather pattern is driven by a weak low‑pressure system moving eastward over the region, bringing moisture from the Bay of Bengal.
Ranchi, the state capital, is expected to experience intermittent rain from late evening each day, with occasional lightning and gusty winds. Temperatures are likely to remain in the mid‑20s Celsius, while humidity will rise, making conditions uncomfortable for outdoor activities.
Authorities have urged residents to stay updated with local forecasts, avoid unnecessary travel during heavy downpours, and take precautions against lightning. Schools and offices in affected districts have been advised to monitor the situation and consider temporary closures if conditions worsen.
Transport services, especially road and rail, may face delays due to water‑logged streets and reduced visibility. The IMD recommends drivers to reduce speed, keep headlights on, and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles during the stormy periods.
