Patna:
Rains brought much needed respite today from sultry weather conditions in Bihar for people who have been reeling under hot and humid conditions.
The Met Department, however, predicted cloudy weather conditions coupled with light to moderate rainfall in eastern Bihar for the next three to four days while the remaining parts of the state including the capital (Patna) will witness partially cloudy weather and light and scattered rainfall.
"A cyclone will hit Bangladesh tonight which will create moisture in the area (Bihar) and hence there would be cloudy weather conditions coupled with light to moderate rainfall in eastern Bihar," IMD Patna Director Ashish Sen told PTI.
Mr Sen further said that the remaining parts of the state, including the state capital, will witness partially cloudy weather and light and scattered rainfall.
People will not feel much discomfort in the next three to four days as temperature is likely to remain normal or below normal, Met officials said, adding north Bihar is likely to witness rainfall from May 23 to 25 due to western disturbances.
Patna and Gaya too may witness rainfall on May 23 and 24, sources said.
A total of 9.8 mm of rains were recorded in Patna while its day's temperature was recorded at 29.7 degrees Celsius which is eight degrees below normal whereas its minimum temperature was 21.2 degrees Celsius, the Met officials said.
Gaya remained the hottest place in the state with maximum temperature recorded at 35.8 degrees Celsius which is five degree below normal while the minimum temperature was recorded at 27.8 degrees Celsius.
Bhagalpur recorded a maximum of 35.4 degrees Celsius which is three degree below normal while Purnea recorded a maximum of 33.4 degrees Celsius.
