Owing to the impact of the very severe cyclone Nivar, several places across Jharkhand witnessed an overcast sky while some places also experienced light showers on Thursday. The cyclone originating from the southern parts of Bay of Bengal hit the Tamil Nadu coastline on Wednesday evening and is likely to have an impact on Jharkhand till November 27. By the evening of November 26 the cyclone had converted into a deep depression in the interiors of Tamil Nadu.

“The very severe cyclone Nivar will have little impact over the State. Nivar has resulted in a change in the wind pattern from north westerly to south easterly. A cyclonic circulation present in east Rajasthan is gradually moving towards Jharkhand. Due to the above two systems few areas across Jharkhand are likely to witness light showers,” said Deputy Director, MET Centre Ranchi Abhishek Anand.

As per the Meteorological Centre, Ranchi parts of central and north Jharkhand will witness light to moderate showers on November 27. The weathermen further stated that once this interaction is over, the wind pattern will again change to north westerly because of which the temperature is likely to fall by two-three degree Celsius.

As per the bulletin released by the MET Centre, Ranchi from November 28 to November 30 residents across the State can witness mist in the early morning hours while the weather will be dry.

As per the bulletin shared by the department on November 26, in the past 24 hours the minimum temperature recorded in Bokaro was 4.5 degrees below normal at 11.1 degree Celsius. Ranchi and Daltonganj were at 11.6 and 11.8 degree Celsius which is just 0.6 degrees below normal.
