Bihar Weather Update: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday stated that several districts of Bihar are likely to receive light to heavy rainfall for the next few days. The weather department stated that most of these districts are also set to witness thunderstorms and gusty winds. While the continuous rainfall is likely to provide relief from the scorching heat by reducing the temperature by two to four degrees Celsius, it will also lead to other issues such as waterlogging. The IMD has advised the residents to follow the guidelines and limit their outings to avoid any inconveniences.
