Jamshedpur, June 18: A north-south trough running from north Bihar to southern parts of Gangetic West Bengal at 1.5 km above mean sea level triggered early morning thundershowers accompanied by lightning today.

IMD’s Ranchi Meteorological Centre had earlier predicted a two to three degree Celsius fall in maximum temperature during the next 48 hours.
The forecast also predicted heat wave conditions at a few isolated places of north-western and adjoining northern parts of the state today.
