Uditvani, Jharkhand: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather advisory for several regions of Jharkhand, warning of ongoing heat wave conditions along with the potential for thunderstorms and gusty winds in the coming days.
April 23–24 : Hot and Humid Weather
Isolated areas in the northeastern and southeastern regions are expected to experience hot and humid conditions, which may lead to discomfort and dehydration, particularly during the afternoon. Residents, especially children, the elderly, and outdoor workers, are advised to stay hydrated and limit sun exposure.
April 25: Heat Wave Alert for Northeastern Areas
A heat wave warning has been issued for isolated parts of northeastern Jharkhand. A heat wave is declared when maximum temperatures are 4.5°C to 6.4°C above normal for two or more consecutive days. People in affected areas should remain indoors during peak hours and wear light, breathable clothing.
April 26: Heat Wave Persists, Thunderstorms Expected
Northeastern Jharkhand will continue to face heat wave conditions, while both northeastern and southeastern regions may experience thunderstorms with lightning and gusty winds (30–40 kmph). These may cause power outages, damage to trees and structures, and pose lightning-related risks. Residents should avoid open areas and stay away from trees and electric poles during lightning activity.
Weather System Behind the Change
A trough extending from a cyclonic circulation over northwest Bihar to Manipur, passing through parts of West Bengal, Bangladesh, and Assam at around 0.9 km altitude, is contributing to the current weather conditions.
IMD’s Precautionary Guidelines :
Avoid direct sunlight between 12 pm and 4 pm.
Drink plenty of fluids and avoid strenuous activities.
Secure loose outdoor items and stay indoors during thunderstorms.
Farmers and outdoor workers should plan their activities with weather conditions in mind.
