India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday stated that the minimum temperature is expected to increase by two to four notches in eastern India, including Bihar, over the next four to five days.
Weathermen say discomforting cold conditions are expected to remain confined to western Uttar Pradesh for the next few days, allowing a gradual surge in the day as well as night temperature.
An anti-cyclonic circulation over Madhya Pradesh is also supporting the gradual northward movement in the mercury column.
“As per our prediction for the next five days, minimum temperature is expected to remain above 10 degrees C at most places in the state, except its south-western parts.
Maximum temperature is also expected to remain in the range of 20-25 degrees C.
A gradual rise in temperature is expected across the state henceforth, wherein central parts are expected to be comparatively warmer,” Sanjay Kumar, a meteorologist at Patna Meteorological Centre told TOI on Tuesday evening.
Meanwhile, Gaya remained the coldest place on Tuesday morning as the minimum temperature recorded stood at 6.5 degrees C.
The minimum temperature at Patna, on the other hand, was recorded at 10.1 degrees C, which was a notch lower than the corresponding normal.
Mohammad Zeeshan Ansari, an officer at Patna centre, said an anti-cyclonic circulation over north Madhya Pradesh was leading to warm southwesterly and westerly winds in Bihar.
“As a result of the wind direction, day as well as night temperatures are expected to surge by two to three over the next two to three days,” he said.
Private weather agency Skymetweather also stated that cold wave conditions are going to shrink and pave way for pleasantly warm days ahead.
