The Meteorological Department has issued a heavy rain alert for 24 districts of Bihar for the next 48 hours. The capital city of Patna and these districts are expected to remain cloudy with intermittent rain today as well. According to meteorologists, due to the active monsoon, most parts of the state will experience good rainfall in the coming days.

The Meteorological Department has specifically advised extreme caution in the districts of North Bihar and East Bihar. These regions may experience heavy rainfall with lightning and strong winds, leading to waterlogging in low-lying areas and disruption of transportation. Farmers have also been advised to be vigilant about their crops and take necessary measures.

Patna has been experiencing continuous cloud cover and intermittent rain for the past few days, leading to a drop in temperature and providing relief from the heat. However, waterlogging issues are also being observed in several areas. The administration has issued instructions to improve the drainage system to avoid inconvenience to people in urban areas.

The Meteorological Department has appealed to the general public to avoid going out during bad weather and stay in safe places. Do not stand under trees or in open fields during lightning and thunder. After the next 48 hours, the intensity of rain may decrease slightly, but the monsoon is expected to remain active throughout the month of July.
