Telegram lightning alerts · Patna, Bihar, India
Bihar records more lightning fatalities than almost any other Indian state. ThunderWatchBot watches a live global lightning stream, compares each new strike with your saved location and sends a Telegram alert the moment a strike enters your chosen radius — during monsoon, pre-monsoon or any season.
Lightning in Bihar
The flat Gangetic plain around Patna provides little natural shelter. Millions of people work in open paddy fields, construction sites and rural roads during the monsoon months when thunderstorm activity is most intense. A Telegram alert with the exact distance and a map link gives you time to move indoors before a cell arrives.
The south-west monsoon reaches Bihar in mid-June and stays through September, bringing frequent afternoon and evening thunderstorms. A 20–30 km radius around your Patna location gives useful lead time. The bot resets automatically after 30 minutes without a nearby strike.
Nor'westers and pre-monsoon squall lines can produce intense lightning before the main monsoon arrives. These storms develop quickly and a real-time Telegram alert is often faster than any other warning channel.
People working in paddy fields, vegetable plots or on construction sites around Patna can use ThunderWatchBot to decide when to stop outdoor work. Each alert includes the distance to the nearest detected strike and a Google Maps link.
Heavy monsoon storms around Patna and on NH-19, NH-31 and NH-30 can make roads dangerous within minutes. A radius alert on your current location helps you anticipate the storm before it reaches your route.
