Patna — The southwest monsoon has now fully advanced across Bihar, bringing much-needed relief from the heat but also causing waterlogging, traffic jams, and disruptions in daily life. With torrential rains already lashing many areas, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued heavy rainfall and thunderstorm warnings for 29 districts, signaling that the next few hours and days could bring severe weather conditions across the state.
