While the weather too now seems to give a positive news to the people of Bihar. As the rains are now likely to decrease over the state, a huge relief is in store.
As per Skymet Weather, due to a cyclonic circulation that persists over East Assam and a trough extending up to northeast Bihar across West Assam and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal. Due to the combined effect of these two weather systems, rains are likely to reduce over parts of Bihar.
