Ranchi: Winter Chill finally arranged his legs on Jharkhand with northern winds used to enter the country for the past two-three days.
The north wind that lowers the temperature in North and Central Jharkhand is now expected to sweep the southern district in the next 24 hours, pulling the mercury down at 3-4 degrees.
During the same period, the temperature in the remaining part of the state is likely to drop 1-2 degrees.
Director of IMD, Ranchi, Abhishek Anand said that the minimum temperature in the middle of the country fell around 4 degrees.
“Ranchi recorded 7.6 degrees as a minimum temperature on Sunday, down about 4 degrees from 11.5 degrees recorded on Saturday,” he said.
Daltonganj in the northern part of the country also recorded a 1.5 degree fall to record 8.4 degrees, while Jamshedpur in the southern part of the country became a little warmer at night because the minimum temperature increased from 11 to 12.8 degrees.
Even though it was marked falling at night and afternoon temperatures, Jharkhand was still avoided from cold waves.
According to meteorological criteria, cold waves are when the minimum smoking temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius.
“But it’s not the only criterion because the departure of the minimum temperature must be 4.5 degrees or more,” Anand said.
However, health experts, be careful of decreasing temperatures that suddenly ask for elderly and children to buy protected from cold winds specifically.
