Guwahati: All the states in the northeast are expected to get heavy rains and thunderstorms in the next five days.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a rain-inducing cyclonic circulation lies over Assam, while another can be seen over Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, a north-south trough can also be witnessed from Bangladesh to the Bay of Bengal.
The combination of these phenomena together will create some exceptional precipitation over the seven sister states this week.
In line with these predictions, light to moderate amounts of rain or snow are expected in most parts of Arunachal, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura from Monday to Thursday (April 22-25).
The spell is expected to clear out after this, only affecting a few areas of these states (excluding Arunachal) from Friday to Saturday (April 26-27).
The IMD has also forecast thunderstorms with lightning and gusty winds to affect the seven states during this forecast period.
The IMD has issued a warning of heavy rains with a possibility of thunderstorms over some sections of Assam and Meghalaya on Monday, Tuesday and Friday, and over Arunachal till Friday (April 22-26).
Isolated very heavy falls (115.6 mm-204.5 mm) could also drench Arunachal Pradesh on Tuesday.
