After witnessing on and off rains, Nagaland is now gearing up for an extended spell of rain and thundershowers. According to Skymet Weather, light to moderate rain and thundershowers are likely to lash almost entire region, inclusive of both plains as well as hills from March 15-18.

Districts like Dimapur, Kiphire, Kohima, Longleng, Mokokchung, Mon, Peren, Phek, Tuensang, Wokha, and Zunheboto all stand a fair chance of good showers. Sky will remain cloudy to overcast during this time period.
Weathermen predict that these showers would be intermittent in nature. Chances of hailstorm also cannot be ruled out over few areas. Intensity of rains would peak on March 16 wherein we could witness fairly widespread showers.
Although we could see partial clearance on March 18, but rains with reduced intensity would continue. This approaching spell will also mark the beginning of pre-Monsoon season in the region.
These showers can be attributed to the cyclonic circulation presently seen over West Bengal. The system would gradually move eastwards over Assam, Meghalaya and Nagaland and would start affecting the region tomorrow onwards.
In wake of this approaching showers, maximum temperatures are likely to take a dip. As a result, day would be fairly comfortable across the state. Meanwhile, minimum temperatures would see a marginal rise on account of persisting clouding.
However, after March 18, as weather systems vacate the region, temperatures would once again start rising.
