Bihar Weather – What’s Happening Right Now and What to Expect

If you live in Patna, Gaya or any part of Bihar, the weather can change fast. One minute it’s scorching, the next heavy showers soak the streets. Knowing what’s coming helps you plan your day, avoid traffic jams and stay safe during floods.

Current Conditions Across the State

Right now most districts are seeing temperatures between 28°C and 34°C with humidity hovering around 70 %. Cities near the Ganges, like Patna and Bhagalpur, feel hotter because the moisture sticks to the air. The IMD has issued a yellow rain alert for parts of North Bihar – expect brief showers in the afternoon, especially in districts such as Muzaffarpur and Darbhanga.

If you’re in the hill areas of Bihar‑Jharkhand border, it’s cooler, around 22°C, and those places may get more rain. The forecast shows the monsoon front moving eastward, so the western side of the state will see the first drops, while the east holds out a bit longer.

Weekly Outlook – Stay Ahead of the Storm

For the next five days the IMD predicts a mix of light to moderate rain on Thursday and Friday, with a stronger spell on Saturday night. Saturday could bring 30‑50 mm of rain in districts like Begusarai and Katihar, so plan your travel accordingly. Sunday looks clearer, but humidity will stay high.

Temperatures will dip a few degrees after the rain, giving a welcome break from the heat. Expect lows around 24°C at night and daytime highs near 32°C. If you’re a farmer, the rain will help the kharif crops, but watch out for waterlogging in low‑lying fields.

Here are three quick tips to handle the upcoming weather:

• Check alerts early. Use the IMD website or a reliable weather app first thing in the morning.
• Carry an umbrella or raincoat. Even a light drizzle can make roads slippery.
• Stay away from waterlogged roads. After heavy rain, avoid driving through standing water – it can hide potholes and cause accidents.

For those who travel by train or bus, keep an eye on schedule changes. Heavy rain often causes delays, especially on routes that cross the Ganges or its tributaries.

Finally, remember that climate patterns are shifting. Bihar is seeing more intense rain events in a shorter period, which means flooding can happen quickly. If you hear a local warning about a river rising, move to higher ground without waiting.

Stay informed, pack the right gear, and you’ll get through the next few days without any surprise setbacks.
