A cyclonic circulation overAssam,Meghalaya, Northern parts ofBiharand adjoining Sub HimalayanWest BengalandSikkimwill enhance the rainfall over Northeastern states. A few heavy to extremely heavy rainy spells over Meghalaya and Assam during next 48 hours is also expected.
Due to these heavy rain showers, most parts of the hilly region in the Northeastern states and a few districts of Assam may experience flood like situation. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is also predicted for the hilly regions ofNepal. It is observed in the past that whenever there is a heavy rainfall that occurs over the hilly areas of Assam, water tends to flow over low line areas of the state triggering flood like situation. It is therefore advisable for the administration to be prepared for these types of natural disasters which is normal occurrence during active Monsoon season.
