Nagaland has always evoked a sense of mysticism, represents unimaginable beauty, moulded perfectly for a breath-taking experience. In the past 24 hours and at present, isolated light rains have been observed over the northern districts of Nagaland.
Places like Mon, Longleng, Mokokchung and Tuensang have witnessed traces of rain and would continue to receive intermittent rains for next 24 hours. Thereafter, weather would turn dry. However, sky may be partly cloudy.
As per Skymet Weather, another spell of rain and thundershower activities are foreseen around February 24 and the intensity would go up between February 25 to 27. The minimums will see a rise by 2°C-3°C between February 22 and 23 because of increase in clouding and humid south -easterlies.
During this time, there are chances of few moderate spells with isolated intense spell of thundershowers. Also, chances of hailstorm cannot be ruled out. As per the experts, weather would once again start clearing up by March 1 and the maximums would rise by 3°C-4°C.
For the state of Nagaland and rest northeastern states, month of February is not a rainy month. Lesser number of rainy spells can be attributed to lack of weather systems. The rains over Nagaland and northeastern states are seen due to the easterly movement of Western Disturbance which travel towards Arunachal Pradesh and Assam and affecting Nagaland also.
At times, the Cyclonic Circulation also develops over Assam and its adjoining areas due to influx of moist winds from Bay of Bengal which also enhances the rainfall activities. However, these weather systems are not very frequent but this year, the Western Disturbances have been visiting the Himalayas at very regular intervals.
