A mild chill is also expected to persist during the morning and evening hours. On April 10—that is, today—the weather is expected to remain completely clear. Meanwhile, according to the Meteorological Department, Uttar Pradesh is likely to find relief from storms and rainfall over the next few days. However, weather patterns may shift around April 15 due to the influence of another active Western Disturbance.
Weather in Bihar
