Saraikela-Kharswan, East Singhbhum, and West Singhbhum are on orange alert for very heavy rainfall from Friday morning to Saturday, while Ranchi, Gumla, and several others are on yellow alert.

Jharkhand's already had 52% more rain than usual this monsoon—some districts have doubled their normal rainfall.
