The weather condition will slightly improve bringing change in temperature only after January 28 and finally temperature will get back to its normal condition.”
Mentioning about the primary cause in sudden temperature fall, Srivastava, further added, “Due to WD and upper air circulation in Southern Madhya Pradesh is affecting the present scenario and climatic condition in Jharkhand. Moreover, States like Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, including hilly terrain are witnessing snowfall, which is also a major cause in temperature variation and is influencing the temperature in state. The variation in climate will not remain for the longer period and soon the weather condition will come into its normal pace.”
On January 23, season’s lowest temperature was recorded in the state capital. In the coming days too denizens will have too bear the temperature variation. Moreover, the temperature variation always leads to major health issues especially among the infants and senior citizens.
