Northeastern region of the country has been experiencing good rainfall in the last few days. In fact in the last 48 hours, intensity of rain has picked up pace.
During last 24 hours, rainfall recorded in most pockets of the Northeastern states are as follows:
North Lakhimpur topping the list with the maximum rainy spells of 74 mm, Pasighat seconds it with 39 mm of rainfall, Kailashahar recorded a rainfall of 34.8 mm, Dibrugarh with 33 mm rain fall, Dhubri recorded 25 mm showers, Guwahati with 24 mm rain fall, Tezpur, Silchar and Agartala recorded 20 mm, 13mm, and 10 mm rain fall respectively.
This year, since IMD has declared the onset over Kerala late, Monsoon seems to be lagging behind its normal date of arrival. Till date, Monsoon has not yet covered the entire Bay of Bengal. However, by witnessing the intensity of rain and cloud cover, Monsoon over the Northeastern states can be declared anytime now.
A cyclonic circulation over Assam, Meghalaya, Northern parts of Bihar and adjoining Sub Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim will 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 of Nepal. 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.
