Guwahati, 27th June: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a forecast for heavy rainfall and thunderstorms across India’s northeastern region as the southwest monsoon gains strength. The northern limit of the monsoon now extends from Mundra in Gujarat to Raxaul in Bihar, showing significant progress.
According to the IMD, favorable atmospheric conditions, including an east-west trough and a cyclonic circulation, are expected to further propel the monsoon’s advance into several additional regions over the next three to four days. The east-west trough currently stretches from Madhya Pradesh to Assam, influencing weather patterns in areas such as south Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand. Additionally, a cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal is anticipated to impact weather conditions in the westcentral and northwest Bay of Bengal regions.
With the monsoon’s advancement and the presence of these weather systems, residents and authorities across the affected regions are advised to exercise caution. The increased likelihood of rainfall activity necessitates close monitoring of weather updates and adherence to safety guidelines issued by local authorities.
Taking these precautions will be essential in mitigating potential risks associated with heavy rainfall and related weather phenomena, such as thunderstorms and flash floods.
