The India Meteorological Department (IMD) warned of an enhanced rainfall, thunderstorms activity in Chhattisgarh on Wednesday.
"The confluence of winds from Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal at lower tropospheric levels is very likely over the east and adjoining central India (Chhattisgarh) during next 4-5 days. Under the influence of above systems, isolated to scattered light/moderate rainfall/snowfall is very likely over Western Himalayan Region till Tuesday and there would be dry weather for subsequent 3-4 days," the IMD bulletin said.
Scattered to fairly widespread light to moderate rainfall is very likely over Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal & Sikkim and Odisha till January 14, the IMD bulletin informed.
The unseasonal rainfall in Chhattisgarh has hit farmers very hard across the state as the annual paddy procurement is underway in the state and farmers have stored huge amount of paddy in open sky to sell state government under an attractive MSP rate.
