During last 24 hours, many areas of the northeastern states have witnessed light to moderate rain activities. This can be termed as first good spell of rain which has covered almost all the states of northeast India.
In a span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Sunday, Cherrapunji witnessed 21 mm of rain, Halflong recorded 20 mm of rains, Kailashahar 26 mm, Golaghat 15 mm, Silchar 14 mm, Gangtok 10 mm, Agartala 6 mm, Aijal 5 mm, Goalpara 6 mm, Imphal 4 mm and North Lakhimpur 2 mm.
The reason for these rains can be attributed to the movement of the Western Disturbance towards east and a trough which was seen extending from east Bihar to Assam.
Now, the Western Disturbance is seen moving away further east and the trough will also soon become insignificant. Therefore, the weather will once again go dry over Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura.
Scattered rains will continue over East Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. Isolated rains are also possible over remaining parts of Assam, Meghalaya and parts of Nagaland.
Day temperatures have decreased due to the cloud cover and scattered rains, but now as the rains will be seen disappearing from the southern states i.e. Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura, temperatures will once again start increasing. Days will be warm and nights are likely to remain comfortable.
