The weather in Mahishi block of Saharsa district took a sudden turn on Monday afternoon. Residents, who had been struggling with severe heat and humidity for several days, found significant relief from this change. Light to moderate rain, accompanied by strong cool winds, began in the afternoon, making the weather pleasant. The continuously rising temperatures and humidity had made daily life difficult, forcing people to stay indoors during the afternoon.

The rainfall on Monday afternoon led to a drop in temperature, providing much-needed comfort to the local population. Farmers in the block are particularly delighted, stating that the rain will bring good moisture to their fields. This will greatly assist farmers who have been grappling with water scarcity for a long time, helping them with paddy transplantation and the cultivation of other Kharif crops. The rain is expected to act as a lifeline for paddy and other Kharif crops, hopefully improving their yield.
