UditVani, Jharkhand: The New Year begins on a bright note for Jharkhand, with weather conditions set to delight revelers on January 1. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) offices in Patna and Ranchi have forecasted clear skies and dry, pleasant weather across the state.
Foggy Mornings, Sunny Afternoons
While shallow fog and mist may greet the early hours of January 1, the rest of the day is expected to be sunny and cheerful. Weathermen have ruled out the possibility of rain, ensuring that outdoor celebrations remain uninterrupted.
A Chillier Start Ahead
