The northeastern states are witnessing heavy rains for a long time. Especially Assam is witnessing very heavy rainfall which has resulted in floods over the region. In the last 24 hours from 8.30 am the following cities received moderate to heavy rainfall.
As per Skymet Weather, these weather activities can be attributed to the cyclonic circulation which is currently persisting over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and adjoining West Assam. The intensity of rain has increased majorly over West Assam due to the weather system over it.
