Heavy rains likely over Assam, Meghalaya, Sikkim

The northeastern parts of the country have been recording some rains for the past few days. So much so that rains of varied intensity have been lashing many parts of the state. The last 24 hours were also quite similar with many areas of the Northeast recording good showers.

In a span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Thursday, Silchar recorded a good 43 mm of rain, Lengpui 27 mm, Tangla 14 mm, Barapani 6 mm, Majbat 6 mm, Tezpur 2 mm, Lumding 1 mm, and Goalpara 0.7 mm.

These rainfall activities can be attributed to the moisture incursion over the region from Bay of Bengal due to the depression lying over Odisha.
