Guwahati, 5th June: The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning for heavy rainfall in Assam and Meghalaya for today, June 5, 2024. According to the latest weather bulletin, these northeastern states are set to experience significant downpours due to the advancing monsoon.
The IMD has predicted “heavy rainfall at isolated places over Assam and Meghalaya,” as part of a broader weather pattern affecting several regions across India. This forecast comes amid ongoing heatwave conditions in various parts of the country, including East Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Delhi.
In addition to heavy rainfall, the IMD has warned of lightning, hail, and squally winds in several areas, which could exacerbate the situation in Assam and Meghalaya. Residents in these states are advised to take necessary precautions and stay updated with the latest weather information.
The heavy rainfall in Assam and Meghalaya is part of a larger meteorological scenario, where the southern peninsula, including Kerala and Karnataka, is also experiencing substantial rainfall due to the onset of the monsoon. The IMD’s forecast highlights the dual weather challenges facing the country, with some regions bracing for intense heat while others prepare for heavy rains.
As the monsoon progresses, it is expected to bring much-needed relief to the parched regions of India while simultaneously posing challenges related to flooding and waterlogging in areas like Assam and Meghalaya. Authorities in these states are on high alert to manage any potential adverse impacts from the expected heavy rainfall.
