The weather bulletin released by MET Observatory Centre, Ranchi on Tuesday stated that the brunt of cold wave will continue to disrupt the normal life across Jharkhand.
According to the weathermen, the dry-weather like conditions would prevail for next two-days while northerly winds will blow over the State for another few days affecting the temperature level.
“Minimum temperature will fall by four to five degree Celsius. Due to some change in wind pattern and approach of Western Disturbances (WD) covering the northern regions – northerly wind will influence the temperature level here in Jharkhand.
However, no large change in temperature will be observed here in Ranchi including a few other districts,” said Senior Scientist, MET Observatory Centre – Ranchi, R S Sharma on Wednesday.
