The reason behind this weather instability is the combination of a trough over Northeast India and the influx of moist southwesterly winds from the Bay of Bengal. Due to the wet conditions, the daytime temperatures in the region are expected to be normal to below normal during the forecast period.
The upcoming rain spell could be beneficial for the Northeast region, which has been suffering from below-average monthly rainfall despite persistent rainfall episodes. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam-Meghalaya, and N.M.M.T have suffered from large deficits of 61%, 41%, and 35%, respectively, compared to their long-term averages for the month of April.
While the heavy rainfall could cause some concern, it is essential to note that the Northeast region needs adequate rainfall to sustain its agriculture and biodiversity. The IMD’s advisory is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of people in the region.
It is advisable for people in the Northeastern region to be prepared for the upcoming rainfall and to take necessary precautions to avoid any untoward incidents. The government and local authorities should also be vigilant and take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the public during this period.
