For the past few days, both Northeast and East India have remained dry. The region has not observed any rainfall activity due to the absence of any significant weather system. However, rain is in the offing for parts of Northeast and East India.
After giving rain and snow over the hills of North India, and scattered light rain over the Northwestern Plains, the weather system is likely to track along the foothills of the Himalayas over Uttar Pradesh, North Bihar, Sikkim, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
Usually, this is the normal track of Western Disturbances as they are divided into two branches. One branch travels north of Himalayas towards China, and the other one moves towards the south of the Himalayas.
Thus, scattered rain will occur over the foothills of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and sub-Himalayan West Bengal during the next 24 hours. However, Sikkim, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and northern parts of Meghalaya will continue to get scattered light to moderate rain for the next two days.
Minimum temperatures are likely to witness a rise in the areas as mentioned earlier due to cloud cover and moist winds. However, day temperatures will observe a marginal fall.
Another spell of rain is expected in these areas by February 11. Until then, isolated rainfall activity will continue over the region.
