These rains occurred because of both these weather systems. As of now also, as both these weather systems would continue to affect the northeastern states, therefore, rain activities are likely to continue for the next few days.
However, the rain belt which has already shifted westward is expected to witness a further shift towards the west leading to increased rain and thundershowers activities over parts of West Assam, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal & Sikkim, Meghalaya, and Tripura.
On the other hand, the other northeastern states would continue to get scattered thundershower activities. Thus, March will end on a rainy note and the month of April will also begin on a similar note.
