Clouds hovering over the sky indicates monsoon is arriving in Jharkhand. The rain is expected to bring relief from the intense summer heat.
Even the Indian Meteorological Department has on June 10 said monsoonal rain is finally on the horizon for East India, including Bihar and Jharkhand.
IMD has announced that the Bay of Bengal branch of the Southwest Monsoon has rapidly advanced, positioning itself at the doorstep of Bihar and Jharkhand. After successfully covering the entire northeastern region, Sikkim, and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, the monsoon's next tracking points are East Bihar and West Bengal.
Weather scientists confirm that atmospheric conditions are highly favorable, and the monsoon is expected to officially arrive in Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal within the next 24 to 48 hours.
Notably, the southwest monsoon, which set over Kerala on June 4, marking the beginning of the four-month-long rainy season in India, advanced into North Bengal and the northeastern states on June 9 (Tuesday). Notably, North Bengal is the gateway to the eight northeastern states.
The weather office said conditions remain favourable for further advance of the monsoon into eastern, central and western India in the next four to five days.
India Meteorological Department (IMD) said, "The southwest monsoon has further advanced into the remaining parts of northeastern states, entire Sikkim and some parts of sub-Himalayan West Bengal."
