Ranchi is bracing for a significant weather transformation starting February 15. Meteorologists predict a steady climb in temperatures, signaling the end of the winter chill across Jharkhand. Abhishek Anand, a leading weather expert, shared these insights on Wednesday, highlighting how reduced snowfall in northern India will influence the state’s climate.
The ripple effects from northern snowfalls diminishing are set to warm up central and eastern regions, including Jharkhand. Expect a gradual temperature increase over the coming days, though minor fluctuations may persist for the next four to five days. This shift promises clearer skies and warmer days ahead.
Thursday will see partial cloud cover in several districts, giving way to sunnier conditions from Friday. Daytime warmth could surprise in some areas, while lighter chills linger in others. Morning fog of mild intensity is also anticipated, adding a touch of mystery to early hours.
In the last 24 hours, Chaibasa clocked the highest temperature at 32.4°C, while Gumla dipped to a chilly 6.4°C. Ranchi enjoyed clear skies on Wednesday, with winds gusting at 30-40 km/h tempering the daytime heat. Evenings and mornings have felt less biting recently.
