GUWAHATI: The Regional Meteorological Centre, Guwahati, has alerted in its special bulletin published today that heavy rainfall will occur in Assam during the next five days.
According to the bulletin, conditions are also becoming favourable for the advance of the Southwest Monsoon over the remaining parts of northeastern states and some parts of sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim during the next 48 hours. A trough in the westerlies runs roughly along Latitude 90°E to the north of 20°N between 3.1 and 5.8 km above mean sea level.
It said that a cyclonic circulation lies over southeast Uttar Pradesh and its neighbourhood at 0.9 km above mean sea level, and a trough runs from this cyclonic circulation to the north interior of Odisha at 0.9 km above mean sea level.
Moisture incursion due to strong low-level southerly or southwesterly winds from the Bay of Bengal to northeast India is very likely during the next five days. Under its influence, fairly widespread rainfall activity with heavy to very heavy rainfall or thunderstorms with lightning is very likely to occur over Assam during the next five days, the bulletin added.
