If you’ve noticed a sudden change in the air over the last 24 hours in Chhattisgarh, you aren't alone. The scorching heat has taken a backseat as gray clouds and cool breezes begin to take over. But this isn't just a random pleasant evening the Meteorological Department (IMD) has officially stepped in with a Yellow Alert for 14 districts across the state.The Weather Twist While most of us were bracing for an early summer, a shift in wind patterns has brought moisture into the region. According to the IMD, several parts of Chhattisgarh are likely to experience light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thundershowers. In some areas, there’s even a possibility of hailstorms and strong winds, which is exactly why the alert was issued.Which Districts Are on the List? The alert covers a significant portion of the state, particularly across central and northern Chhattisgarh. Residents in districts like Raipur, Durg, Bilaspur, and Bastar should keep their umbrellas handy. The weather shift is expected to stay for the next 48 hours, bringing a much-needed dip in the maximum temperature, making the days feel significantly cooler than usual.Why the Yellow Alert? A Yellow Alert is the weather department's way of saying, "Be aware." While it’s not a call for panic, it is a warning for farmers and travelers. Strong winds can damage standing crops, and sudden rain can make road conditions tricky, especially in the hilly terrains of the state.The Local Vibe For many locals, the rain is a welcome relief from the rising dust and heat. It’s that rare window of time where the "AC weather" is replaced by "Chai and Pakoda weather." However, if you have outdoor plans or are traveling through the forest reaches of Chhattisgarh, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the sky.The temperature is expected to drop by 3 to 4 degrees Celsius, providing a brief but beautiful respite before the summer sun returns in full force.
