Rain and thunderstorms may affect Bihar in the final days of October, with the possibility of weather changes linked to cyclonic activity in the Bay of Bengal. According to the India Meteorological Department’s October 24 forecast, thunderstorms and b winds are possible on October 27 and 28, while a heavy rainfall warning has been issued for October 29 and 30.
The final week of October is expected to be important for weather conditions in Bihar. A low-pressure area and cyclonic activity developing over the Bay of Bengal may influence weather across eastern India. These weather systems can create conditions for cloud cover, b winds and rainfall in several areas.
The impact on Bihar will depend on the direction and intensity of the weather system, as well as the availability of moisture.
The possibility of rain before Diwali has drawn attention to the latest weather forecasts. Shopping activity increases during the festival, and temporary shops and decorative arrangements are set up in several places.
Rainfall could create difficulties for shopkeepers and customers. Goods kept in open areas, electrical decorations and temporary pandals could also be affected by wet weather.
Weather conditions during the final days of October are also important for farmers. In several areas, paddy harvesting and activities related to the sowing of rabi crops take place during this period.
Prolonged rainfall could create difficulties in harvesting mature paddy, drying the crop and storing the grain safely. The sowing of rabi crops could also be affected depending on soil moisture conditions.
However, the actual impact will depend on the amount of rainfall and local conditions.
According to the October 24 forecast issued by the India Meteorological Department, Bihar may experience thunderstorms and b winds on October 27 and 28. A heavy rainfall warning has also been issued for October 29 and 30.
The weather conditions during the final days of October will therefore depend on how the system develops and moves. There has been no confirmation that Cyclone Arnab will directly reach Bihar. Its potential path and impact are expected to become clearer through subsequent forecasts.
People are advised to avoid open areas during sudden changes in weather and to stay away from trees, electricity poles and weak structures during thunderstorms.
Farmers may need to move harvested crops to safe locations and plan agricultural activities in view of the possibility of rain. Monitoring the latest weather updates before Diwali may help people plan festival preparations and daily activities.
