Bihar is likely to have rain or dust storm for two days from tomorrow, met office said.

There is likely to be cloudy sky with possibility of rain or thunder or dust storm across the state, especially in four major cities of Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur and Purnea tomorrow, Patna Meteorological Centre official said today.

"We have forecast that such weather conditions are likely to remain in the state till Sunday (Mar 12)," Met official told PTI.

Asked whether the cloudy weather or rain may play spoilsport on Holi on Monday, he said "right now, I am not sure about it, but the effects of western disturbances coupled with cyclonic circulation created over Chhattisgarh may spill over further for a day or two and disturb the festival of colour."
 

Districts like East and West Champaran, Gopalganj witnessed rains and thunder today, official said adding that there were chances that it would further approach districts like Siwan, Sitamarhi, Madhepura.

Attributing 'western disturbances' as the reason for change in the weather, Met official said that western disturbance has reached Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh and is expected to pass through north Bihar in a couple of days.
