The eastern half of the country has been witnessing weather activities these days. Cloudy skies and occurrences of light rain and thundershowers over part of East India have made the weather of the region comfortable against the warm days that were prevalent a couple of days back.
The last 24 hours were no different for the states like Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha. Within a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Friday, Sambalpur and Rajnandgaon recorded 2 mm of rains each, meanwhile, Mana, Raipur, Titlagarh, Baripada, and Puri recorded 1 mm of rains each. During the similar time frame, Gopalpur and Diamond Harbor witnessed 0.2 mm of rains each and Cuttack witnessed 0.6 mm of showers.
On the other hand, the stations like Durg, Digha, Phulbani, Sundargarh, Paradip, and Jharsuguda all recorded some rainy traces.
As per Skymet Weather, a confluence zone continues to persist over Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, extending up to the southern parts of West Bengal. An anti-cyclone also prevailed over southwest Bay of Bengal thereby increasing the moisture incursion over these regions.
