The entire Northeast India has been experiencing rain and thundershower activities accompanied with strong winds since the last two weeks. In fact, extremely heavy rains have led to flash floods in several parts of Tripura leaving 300 families homeless. In order to overcome this situation, several relief camps have been set up in the various parts of the state.
Rainfall activities are still continuing, as during the last 24 hours, light to moderate rains associated with heavy showers have been reported in most places of Northeast India. According to the data available with Skymet, Guwahati in Assam has recorded 13.8 mm of rainfall, followed by Kailashahar in Tripura 3.4 mm and Kohima in Nagaland 2.2 mm.
According to Skymet Weather, several weather systems have aligned in order to give rains over northeastern states of the country. At present, a Cyclonic Circulation is over Northeast Bihar and adjoining region. Another Cyclonic Circulation is over southern parts of Assam in the lower levels. Plus, an East- West upper air Trough is extending from North Bihar up to Mizoram across this circulation. In addition to these systems, southerly/southwesterly winds from the Bay of Bengal are feeding moisture.

With the persistence of above systems, rain and thundershowers will continue in many parts of Northeast India, wherein Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura will continue to experience rains during the coming week. However, rains will taper in the region after 24 hours.
Moreover, ongoing rains will help Jack fruits and tea crops in their growth and nourishment, due to sufficient amount of moisture in the atmosphere.
