Monsoon has remained on the weaker side over the Northeast India with the region being a highly deficit pocket today. The most amount of rain deficiency as of now is in Arunachal Pradesh at 59 percent deficit. In fact, Northeast India has become a perpetual pocket of deficiency as even the last two Monsoon saw poor rains, and this is the third consecutive year wherein rains are on the lower side.
However, now, because of the weak Monsoon and typical break Monsoon conditions, rains are expected to pick up over Northeast India. This is a usual feature that when the country sees break Monsoon conditions, rain in Northeast India increases.
These rains are expected to last for three days or so until some fresh weather system forms in the Bay of Bengal, which will result in the revival of these showers. The formation of such a system is only likely around August 15 or so.
States including Meghalaya, Assam, Meghalaya and Nagaland may see some heavy showers as well. Meanwhile, Mizoram and Tripura may see lesser rains. These rainfall activities will be more intense during the night hours and will be accompanied with thunderstorm as well as lightning strikes in some parts.
