Early February, the temperature shot up unexpectedly. This disturbed the normal cycle of crops. Standing crops were once again affected with the sudden spells of rain. The rain spoiled the crops and also their Holi mood.

The fluctuating weather also brought along with it various diseases. The number of patients affected with seasonal infections and viral fever has started to increase. Dr Aniruddha Kumar Pandey, who runs a clinic at Vishwa Bank in Barra, said such ailments occur mostly during the transition time of seasons.

He advised people to take required precautions. On being asked about them, he said equal body temperature should be maintained at every stage. Wollens should not be abandoned all of a sudden and completely. He asked people to wear light woolens during night hours.

Pandey said that if people felt uneasy they should immediately consult the physician and take prescribed medicines regularly.

However, met experts said that sudden change in weather conditions might cause more trouble during summer.
