The city is enjoying a light breeze at 10 km/h from the east-northeast (75° ENE) direction. Occasional gusts may reach up to 4 m/s, adding a pleasant feel to the slightly humid air. These gentle winds are expected to persist throughout the day, ensuring the weather stays mild and comfortable.
Will It Rain Today in Patna?
There is no rainfall expected across the city today. Despite the morning cloud cover, meteorologists have confirmed that the conditions will remain dry throughout the weekend. This makes it a great day for outdoor activities, Diwali shopping, and local festivals.
What to Wear Today?
With moderate temperatures and humidity, light cotton clothing is ideal for the day. A light jacket or stole might come in handy during the evening, as temperatures are expected to drop slightly after sunset.
For those stepping out for morning errands or temple visits, comfortable footwear and sunglasses are recommended. Even with early clouds, UV rays can penetrate mild cloud cover. Dermatologists suggest applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) before heading out, especially during the late morning hours when the sun’s intensity peaks.
Stay Hydrated Throughout the Day
As humidity fluctuates with the shifting clouds, staying hydrated remains essential. Drink plenty of water, coconut water, or fresh juices to maintain energy levels. Mild dehydration can occur even in cooler months if you’re active outdoors.
How’s the Air Quality in Patna?
Following festive celebrations and pre-Diwali traffic, Patna’s air quality remains moderate, but pollution levels could spike in the evening due to increased vehicular movement and firecracker testing. Sensitive groups, including children and the elderly, are advised to avoid prolonged outdoor exposure.

Festive Season’s Impact on Weather
The ongoing festive season has brought more vehicular emissions and suspended particles into the atmosphere, slightly thickening the morning haze. While this hasn’t significantly altered temperatures, the haze has reduced visibility during early hours. Experts advise maintaining air purifiers indoors and minimizing open burning.
Outlook for the Coming Days
Weather experts predict that similar mild and partly cloudy conditions will continue over the next few days. As the festive spirit continues, residents can look forward to comfortable evenings and dry weather leading into the early winter transition.
