UditVani, Jamshedpur: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast thunderstorms with lightning and gusty winds (30–40 Kmph) at isolated places in Jharkhand over the next few days, with heavy rainfall likely in some regions.
August 29: Thunderstorms expected across most parts, except north-west Jharkhand. Heavy rainfall likely in south-eastern and north-eastern districts.
August 30: Thunderstorms likely statewide; heavy rain predicted in central Jharkhand.
August 31: Thunderstorm and lightning accompanied by gusty winds may occur at isolated places.
The conditions are being driven by a low-pressure system persisting over the northwest Bay of Bengal off Odisha coast, which is moving slowly west-northwestwards.
Met department authorities have urged people to remain alert to possible lightning strikes, waterlogging, and wind-related damage.
