Most areas of Northeast India are observing decent rains for the last few days. Normally during Southwest Monsoon, the Northeastern states receive good rainfall.
On and off good rains are occurring over Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh. However, these rains are not good enough to decrease the rainfall deficiency of Northeast India.
Meanwhile, some parts of NMMT (Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura) have also witnessed light to moderate showers.
In a span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Saturday, Mazbat recorded 86.4 mm and Silchar 82 mm of Monsoon showers. Other areas that have received rains include Shillong 37 mm, Tezpur 30 mm, Agartala 22.3 mm and Imphal 11.1 mm.
These rains can be attributed to the cyclonic circulation which can be seen over East Assam and adjoining Arunachal Pradesh in the lower levels. Moreover, a trough is likely to reach the northeastern states during next 24 to 48 hours.
With this, light to moderate showers are likely to continue over Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh for another 2-3 days.
However, rain intensity is likely to remain light over NMMT (Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura).
East and Northeast India are at present witnessing rainfall deficiency of 14%. As on September 18, 2016 the region comprising Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura is rain deficient by 20% while the subdivision of Assam and Meghalaya is rain deficient by 33%. It is only Arunachal Pradesh where rain deficiency is 10% which falls under the normal rain category.
