Patna, Mar 10 (PTI) Bihar is likely to have rain or dust

storm for two days from tomorrow, met office said.

There is likely to be cloudy sky with possibility of

rain or thunder or dust storm across the state, especially in

four major cities of Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur and Purnea

tomorrow, Patna Meteorological Centre official said today.

“We have forecast that such weather conditions are

likely to remain in the state till Sunday (Mar 12),” Met

official told PTI.

Asked whether the cloudy weather or rain may play

spoilsport on Holi on Monday, he said “right now, I am not

sure about it, but the effects of western disturbances coupled

with cyclonic circulation created over Chhattisgarh may spill

over further for a day or two and disturb the festival of

colour.”

Districts like East and West Champaran, Gopalganj

witnessed rains and thunder today, official said adding that

there were chances that it would further approach districts

like Siwan, Sitamarhi, Madhepura.

Attributing ‘western disturbances’ as the reason for

change in the weather, Met official said that western

disturbance has reached Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh and is

expected to pass through north Bihar in a couple of days. PTI
