Jamshedpur, Feb 1: Several places including Ranchi and Jamshedpur today experienced unseasonal showers triggered by a western disturbance passing through northern parts of the country.

Several places in central, north-eastern and southern Jharkhand today woke up to inclement weather conditions with abrupt rise in minimum temperature.
Ranchi today recorded a minimum temperature of 14.5 degrees Celsius while the minimum temperature in Jamshedpur shot up to 17 degrees Celsius.
