Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal In For Heavy Rains This Week; Wet Spell to Continue Across Northeast India
This week, as most parts of India brace for impending heatwave-like conditions, the northeastern states will likely host pleasant weather. For much of March, northeast India has recorded scant rainfall. Now, the region is set to experience a continuous active wet spell, at least until Friday, April 1.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast light to moderate intensity scattered rainfall across Northeast India for the next two days. The inclement conditions will continue with a likelihood of fairly widespread showers over the region from March 30 to April 1 (Wednesday to Friday).
In addition, the region will also face the brunt of rough conditions in the form of thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds blowing at the speed of 30-40 kmph this week.(TNL)
Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh are also in for isolated heavy rains on March 31 and April 1. With the increased rainfall activity, even the gusty winds will gain pace and blow at the speed of 40-50 kmph over some places of the states.
The Weather Channel’s met team attributes the wet spell to strong southwesterly winds originating from the Bay of Bengal and a cyclonic circulation that will attract humidity over the region. With the prevalence of rough conditions, a yellow watch has been issued over Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura on March 28.(TNL)
From tomorrow onwards, the alert will extend to all the northeastern states, including Arunachal Pradesh. The yellow watch, which urges residents to ‘be aware’ of the local weather situation, will continue until April 1.
The regional met department in Guwahati has issued a yellow watch over several districts of the Northeast states in the coming days, including Dubhri, Goalpara, Kokrajhar, Chirang, Baksa, Barpeta, Nalbari, and Dibrugarh from Assam and Paren, Dimapur, Kohima, Wokha, Mokokchung, Mon and Longleng from Nagaland.(TNL)
In neighbouring Manipur, the alert will take over districts of Tamenglong, Senapati, Imphal, Noney, Jiribam, Chandel, Churachandpur and Pherzawl. In Mizoram, the alert will cover Mamit, Kolasib, Aizawl, along with Arunachal’s East Kameng, Lower Subansiri, Papumpare, Siang and Lohit districts.
