These rains can be attributed to the presence of multiple weather systems. One of these is a cyclonic circulation over Northeast Bihar and adjoining areas. Along with this, a trough is also extending from this system. Not only this, the axis of the Monsoon trough is also running close to the foothills of the Himalayas.
Thus, as per weathermen, moderate showers are expected over Bihar. Not only this, the possibility of isolated heavy rains also cannot be ruled out over these areas. Thus, northern parts of the state may witness flood like situation as well.
