With the sun gradually moving towards the Equator from the Tropic of Capricorn, a slight change in the weather is being experienced across Jharkhand. As the sun will shift closer to the Equator, the southern parts of the State will become warmer. This movement of the sun is what regulates the temperature which will now continue to rise.
As per the Meteorological Centre Ranchi, for the next three days, the weather will continue to remain clear. However, the last week of February is expected to bring some rainfall at isolates places in the State.
On February 19 and February 20 there will be dry weather across Jharkhand while a slight change in the weather will be observed from the evening of February 20. On February 21, isolated places in north west parts of Jharkhand will have light to moderate rainfall. From February 22 to February 24 isolates places in northern and central parts of the State are likely to receive some showers.
“These showers are the effect of an induced western disturbance which is present in the upper levels of the troposphere. There is also a convergence of the south westerly winds with the westerly and north westerly winds in the lower troposphere. The western disturbance and the wind convergence together will be the cause of the light showers and the cloudy weather,” said Deputy Director, MET Centre Ranchi, Abhishek Anand.
This weather is likely to be clear from February 25 onwards. The minimum temperature is expected to rise from February 20 onwards and could be around 15 to 16 degree Celsius.
“Till the western disturbance system is present, the minimum temperature will be constant around 15 to 16 degree Celsius. Once the system clears away on February 25, the minimum temperature will again drop but there are no chances of it falling below 10 degree Celsius,” added the official.
According to the MET Centre, Ranchi from February 119 to February 22, the minimum temperature in the State capital and its surrounding areas will be between 12 to 15 degree Celsius. The maximum temperature around the region could be around 28 to 30 degree Celsius.
