The winter season has arrived in Ranchi as the minimum temperature has been hovering around 12.4 degrees Celsius this week. As per the Meteorological Centre, Ranchi, a change in the weather pattern is expected from November 26 onwards as the minimum temperature is likely to drop by one to two degree Celsius. It is also being predicted that the nighttime temperature will touch 10 degree Celsius in the southern and central parts of the State. A low pressure system is expected to form in southeast Bay of Bengal from November 23.
