Why is the weather pattern changing?

According to meteorologists, the monsoon trough is currently active around Bihar and its position is constantly changing. For this reason, at some places it is raining heavily and at other places it is only cloudy. When there is no rain due to excess moisture in the air, the humidity increases. At the same time, due to the rapid development of clouds at the local level in the afternoon, thunderstorms and rain suddenly begin.
