Rains bring much-needed relief


Pre-monsoon showers on Sunday (June 28, 2009) brought much needed relief to residents of Patna, reeling under heat wave conditions and delayed monsoon.
Patna experienced moderate rains to end a long dry spell in Bihar, where the monsoon was due for June 11.
The Meteorological Department, however, said the showers were not monsoon rains. The Southwest Monsoon, which is running behind schedule, is likely to advance to more areas of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Orissa and West Bengal & Sikkim as well as some parts of Bihar, Jharkhand and East Uttar Pradesh during next two three days.
