THE super cyclone ‘Nivar’ will have no major impact over Chhattisgarh on Thursday. Overall weather will be dry with chances of moderate to medium rainfall at isolated places in Bastar, Raipur and Durg division. In its evening inference, Meteorological Center has issued warning of thunderstorm and lightning likely at isolated places over the state on November 26 and 27.
 
After two-day warning, the weather will return to normal dry conditions. The change in climatic conditions will slightly increase the existing minimum temperature while bringing down the cold wintry conditions. However, the cold winter conditions will increase across State from November 28.
