The Meteorological Department has issued a comprehensive forecast for East and Northeast India, highlighting the likelihood of various weather phenomena including rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, and even heavy downpours in specific areas. Residents and authorities are advised to stay informed and prepared for potential weather disruptions.
East India: A Cascade of Rainfall and Thunderstorms
East India is expected to witness a series of weather events that could affect daily life and activities. From August 26th to 27th, the region is poised to experience light to moderate fairly widespread rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning. Of particular concern are Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim, where isolated heavy rainfall is predicted during this period. Meanwhile, Bihar and Odisha are also forecasted to encounter this weather pattern on the 26th of August.
The Meteorological Department has further highlighted the possibility of isolated very heavy rainfall over Bihar on the 26th of August. This heightened prediction underlines the importance of remaining cautious and prepared, especially in flood-prone areas, to mitigate potential risks associated with heavy downpours.
Northeast India:
Much like East India, the Northeastern states are expected to experience light to moderate fairly widespread rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning. This weather pattern is anticipated to persist over the next 5 days, suggesting a consistent need for vigilance. In particular, Assam and Meghalaya are likely to encounter isolated heavy rainfall during the 26th and 27th of August. Residents in these areas should remain alert to the potential challenges that heavy rainfall can pose, including landslides and localized flooding.
Nationwide Outlook: A Subdued Scenario
While East and Northeast India are poised for a bout of unpredictable weather, the rest of the country is expected to experience relatively subdued rainfall activity over the next week. This respite presents an opportunity for other regions to focus on recovery and preparedness, as well as to lend support to areas that might be grappling with the consequences of heavy rainfall.
