The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a significant increase in monsoon activity across Bihar after June 27, with widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning and strong winds expected over the next four days. Orange alerts have been issued for several districts, warning of heavy rain and wind speeds reaching up to 60 kmph in some areas. The southwest monsoon is expected to become fully active, leading to a noticeable drop in temperatures and relief from the prevailing heat. While rainfall is likely across most districts, northern and eastern parts of the state may receive particularly heavy showers. The IMD has advised residents to remain alert, avoid unnecessary travel during severe weather, and stay away from open areas during thunderstorms. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and have urged people to follow official weather advisories as monsoon conditions intensify across Bihar.
