The weather department said that the situation might remain the same for at least the next five days and heat wave alerts have been issued for parts of the state till June 15.

“There is a possibility of light rain, mainly in eastern parts of the state. But, it would hardly help in bringing down the temperature,” said Ranchi Meteorological Centre in-charge Abhishek Anand.
