During the last 24 hours, several districts of Jharkhand had recorded good rains. Alongside, one or two places over South Chhattisgarh have also managed to observe light to moderate showers. However, now, the rain intensity over Jharkhand is likely to reduce and dry weather condition is expected to prevail over the state although isolated light rains cannot be ruled out as well.
In a span of last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Sunday, Jamshedpur recorded moderate rainfall of 69 mm, Jagdalpur 40 mm and Ranchi 1 mm.
These weather conditions can be attributed to the cyclonic circulation which is seen over the west-central Bay of Bengal. Further, this weather system is likely to move in a northwest direction.
