The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy to very heavy rain in isolated places of the State this week.
According to the IMD, a cyclonic circulation lies over northeast Assam and neighbourhoods between 1.5 km and 3.1 km above mean sea-level. A trough runs from north Bihar to Manipur across Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and south Assam at 0.9 km above mean sea level.
“Under the influence of the above synoptic conditions and moisture incursion from the Bay of Bengal to Assam due to Southerly and South Westerly winds in the lower level, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall accompanied with thunderstorms and lightning,” the IMD said.
It also said that gusty winds at isolated places are very likely over Meghalaya during the period from April 29 to May 3 and isolated heavy to very heavy with extremely heavy rainfall on May 2, isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall on May 1 and isolated heavy rainfall on April 30.
