The Meteorological Department has issued a warning for the next 48 hours, predicting strong winds, rain, and thunderstorms in the Kishanganj, Saharsa, Araria, Sitamarhi, and Muzaffarpur areas. Meanwhile, due to rain in the basin areas of Nepal’s seasonal rivers, the rivers flowing into Araria, Kishanganj, and Purnia districts from Nepal are in spate.

In recent days, strong winds have caused devastation in several districts of the state. Last evening, due to the strong winds in the Siwan district, a large number of trees were uprooted in several areas. At least seven people died in separate incidents due to these events in the Siwan district. In Madhubani, strong winds led to the snapping of Overhead Equipment(OHE) lines, disrupting power supply and affecting train operations. Train services between Madhubani and Rajnagar rail sections were restored late last night. In South Bihar, areas including Rohtas, Bhojpur, and Buxar are experiencing heat wave-like conditions with mercury soaring above 40 degrees Celsius.
