Lightning in Jharkhand

Why Ranchi needs real-time lightning alerts

Jharkhand's plateau landscape generates intense convective thunderstorms, especially when warm moist air meets the elevated terrain. Mining workers, construction teams and agricultural labourers working in open terrain around Ranchi are particularly exposed.

Storm season: April–September

Pre-monsoon thunderstorms begin in April and grow more frequent through May. The south-west monsoon brings the most intense lightning from June to September. A 15–25 km radius alert gives you practical warning time around Ranchi.

Mining and industrial workers
