Jharkhand will not get relief from cold right now
Let us tell you that due to snowfall and cold winds in North India, the temperature also fell in Jharkhand. The minimum temperature of Kanke dropped to three degrees centigrade. The minimum temperature of the capital Ranchi also dropped by 0.4 degrees Celsius, due to which the minimum temperature came down to 9.4 degrees Celsius. The Ranchi-based weather center of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said that there will be fog in the morning for the next few days. It is also predicted to be cloudy during the day. In such a situation, people in Jharkhand will have to suffer for the next few days. The minimum temperature may increase by two to three degrees in the next day or two. However, there is no possibility of any major change in the maximum temperature. The lowest minimum temperature in urban areas was recorded in Khunti at 6.4 degrees centigrade. The weather center has said that there may be fog in Jharkhand even on the big day i.e. Christmas day.
