Chhattisgarh is poised for a shift in its weather patterns, with the prospect of light to moderate rain in several districts over the next three days. The state’s meteorological department forecasts rain accompanied by thunderstorms in regions including Bastar, Raipur, Durg, Bilaspur, and Surguja from February 24 to 26.
Three Active Weather Systems Contribute to the Transformation
With three weather systems simultaneously active, Chhattisgarh is experiencing a renewed transformation. The presence of moisture in the atmosphere indicates the likelihood of mild to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning in several districts over the next three days. While a decrease in minimum temperatures is expected, significant changes in maximum temperatures are not anticipated.
Signs of Rain Between February 24 and 26
According to the Chhattisgarh Meteorological Department, rain is expected in the Bastar, Raipur, Durg, Bilaspur, and Surguja regions on February 24 and 25. On February 26, light rain is anticipated in various locations across the state. Additionally, there is a possibility of thunderstorms with lightning on these days. A change in weather patterns is expected to be observed after January 27.
Western Disturbance Influence on Sunday
On Sunday, the presence of a western disturbance in the form of a cyclonic circulation over Dronika is likely to create conditions conducive to light rain in the Surguja region. During this period, a decrease in minimum temperatures by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius is expected in the northern and central parts of the state for the next two days, followed by a subsequent rise.
Insights from the Meteorological Expert
As per H.P. Chandra, a weather specialist in Chhattisgarh, a cyclonic circulation is positioned about 0.9 km above sea level over the region and its surroundings. This, coupled with the impact of a cyclonic circulation extending from Telangana to Tamil Nadu, is causing changes in wind direction, potentially leading to light rain in Bastar. The overall forecast suggests a dynamic weather scenario in the coming days.
