Comfortable weather in East India to ease up Durga Puja celebrations

September 23, 2017 1:17 PM | Skymet Weather Team

The entire eastern parts of the country have not been recording good rains though light on and off spells have been making their appearance over the region. In fact, in the last 24 hours, the rainfall activity has reduced considerably over this side of the country whereas, Monsoon rains have remained active over North India.

In a span of last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Friday, Coochbehar recorded moderate rainfall of 64 mm, followed by Jalpaiguri at 37 mm, Bankura 4 mm, Gaya and Digha 2 mm.

The reason for light rains over the entire eastern parts of the country can be attributed to the absence of any significant weather system prevailing over the region. Due to westerly and northwesterly winds blowing over the area, good rains are not expected to occur over the entire East India.

Although a few parts of Gangetic West Bengal and Odisha may witness scattered light rains during the afternoon and late evening hours. Whereas isolated places over Jharkhand and Bihar may receive light showers for the next 24 hours.

On the other hand, the axis of Monsoon trough is seen moving across North of Bihar and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal. Due to this weather system, the extreme northeastern parts of Bihar will receive light to moderate showers during the next 24 to 48 hours.

However, the intensity of these rains will not be very heavy in nature. Also, the residents residing in parts of East India will witness comfortable weather conditions for the next few days. In wake of this, clear sky is likely to prevail over the area. Hence, it is likely to be a good time for the people celebrating Durga Puja.

By September 25, only scattered light rains are likely to prevail in most parts of East India due to the non-prevalence of any significant weather system. However, the temperatures are expected to scale up marginally.
