These days good rain was predicted by the Meteorological Department in the whole of Jharkhand. But looking at the situation, it seems as if the monsoon is extremely angry.
Although the capital Ranchi has received light to moderate rains in the night for the last two days. But there was no sign of rain during the day. Apart from Ranchi, the condition of other districts also remained the same.
Meteorologist Abhishek Anand of Ranchi Meteorological Department told Local 18 that the monsoon was forecast to be active in Jharkhand. But it is not raining as expected. The main reason for this is that the effect of the monsoon trough passing through the southern part of Jharkhand is not that much.
Apart from this, the low pressure that was formed in the Bay of Bengal is moving towards the Bay due to the Western Disturbance in the upper atmosphere. Due to which its effect is being seen very mild in Jharkhand.
