Several districts across Bihar witnessed sudden thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds, following days of intense heat.

Officials reported incidents of tree falls and minor damage in some areas, while residents experienced a sharp drop in temperature after the storm activity. The weather department had earlier issued warnings about unstable conditions due to atmospheric disturbances.

Authorities have advised people to remain indoors during storms and avoid open fields, especially in lightning-prone regions. The fluctuation between extreme heat and sudden storms has raised concerns about changing climate patterns in the state.
