The weather in Chhattisgarh is expected to change again today, with light to moderate rain and thunderstorms predicted in many areas, and the possibility of lightning strikes in some places. According to the weather department, a low-pressure area is likely to form in the Bay of Bengal on October 1st, potentially bringing rain at the start of the new month.
In the past 24 hours, several locations in the Durg and Bastar divisions experienced rainfall, with heavy rainfall recorded in certain areas. The maximum temperature in Durg during this period was 31.6 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature in Pendra Road was 22 degrees Celsius.
Weather scientists indicate that a depression lies over south coastal Odisha, moving westward. This system may weaken as it progresses towards southern Odisha and Chhattisgarh. Additionally, a trough extends from south Odisha to Goa, passing through Telangana and northern Karnataka, at a height of 3.1 to 4.5 kilometers. There’s a possibility of a cyclonic circulation forming in the north Andaman Sea on September 30th, which could lead to the development of a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal on October 1st. This will likely increase rainfall activity in Chhattisgarh.
The weather department has issued alerts for several districts. Orange alerts have been issued for Balod, Rajnandgaon, Durg, Bemetara, and Kabirdham, with the forecast of moderate rain, thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds (30-40 km/h).
