With little variation in the temperature levels, pleasant weather conditions are on the cards across the State in the coming days. Light to moderate showers accompanied with thunder storms, lighting and hailstorms too are being predicted for the residents of Jharkhand from April 21 to April 24.
According to the Meteorological Centre, Ranchi, on April 21 scattered places in north east, central and southern parts are likely to receive light showers. The Department has also issued a warning of gusty winds at a speed of around 50- 60 Km per hour along with thunder storms, lighting and hailstorms.
For April 22 and April 23, it is being predicted that isolated places in the north east and southern parts of Jharkhand may witness light rainfall. Places of north east, central and southern parts are again likely to receive showers on April 24 accompanied with thunderstorm, lighting and gusty winds at about 40- 50 Km per hour.
“A cyclonic circulation in east Madhya Pradesh and neighbouring regions at 0.9 Km above mean sea level and an eastwest trough at 0.9 Km above mean sea level from Rajasthan to Chhattisgarh is affecting Jharkhand. These systems along with good convection due to heating of the earth’s surface provide suitable ground for development of thundercells which cause thunderstorms and lighting and gusty winds. Chances of hail at isolated places are also there,” said Deputy Director, MET Centre Ranchi, Abhishek Anand.
As per the MET Centre, Ranchi with light showers across the State not much changes in the temperature levels is expected.
The maximum temperature in the northern districts like Garhwa and Palamu and the areas around East Singhbhum in the southern part may touch 41- 42 degree Celsius while for the rest of the State the temperature will be below 40 degree Celsius.
