IMD Issues Yellow Alert for Jharkhand Amid Rising Temperatures

The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for several districts in Jharkhand, warning of potential thunderstorms and lightning as temperatures continue to climb across the state. According to the latest forecast valid until June 7, many parts of the state could experience high-speed winds reaching 40 to 50 kilometers per hour. This warning comes at a time when Jharkhand is seeing a return of intense heat, with cities like Daltonganj recording temperatures nearing the 40-degree mark. The combination of high heat and the threat of sudden storms has put local administrations on alert, especially in the Chota Nagpur plateau region where lightning strikes are frequent during this time of year.
