RANCHI – Winter’s official arrival marks a significant temperature drop across Jharkhand, with Khunti recording the season’s lowest at 8.8°C.
The cold wave has swept across various districts with remarkable intensity.
Moreover, meteorological data shows this winter onset is earlier than last year’s mid-December arrival.
Furthermore, the average winter temperatures in Jharkhand typically range between 7°C to 13°C during peak season.
"These conditions perfectly align with our winter onset parameters," noted a weather expert.
Meanwhile, historical data indicates Jharkhand winters have shown increasing variability over the past decade.
Additionally, north-westerly winds continue to influence regional weather patterns.
In contrast, the Kolhan region maintains slightly warmer temperatures around 14°C.
However, weather officials anticipate further temperature drops in coming weeks.
On the other hand, fog warnings pose challenges for morning commuters.
Furthermore, agricultural experts suggest these conditions benefit winter crops.
