Bihar Shivers: Weeks Without Sun, Cold Wave Grips State; Relief Still Days Away

• Bihar is experiencing a severe cold wave with no sunshine for several days to weeks across most districts, disrupting daily life.
• Dense fog, cold wave, and chilly westerly winds have intensified the cold, reducing visibility to 50 meters in areas like Gaya Ji.
• Day temperatures range from 13-18°C and night temperatures from 6-13°C; Muzaffarpur recorded the coldest day at 13.2°C.
• Districts like Madhubani (9 days), Patna (weeks), West Champaran (10 days), and Arwal (over a week) have not seen bright sunshine.
• Meteorological Department forecasts cold conditions for 3-5 more days; partial relief is possible in January if wind direction changes.

Why It Matters: Bihar faces extreme cold and sunless days; relief is unlikely for several more days, especially in North Bihar.
