Southwest Monsoon made its onset over Northeast India on June 1. Earlier also, pre-Monsoon rains continued over the entire Northeast India. In fact, since last many days good rainfall activity was going on over all the northeastern states including Nagaland.

In a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Sunday, Lumding recorded 14 mm of rain, followed by Kohima 10 mm.

Currently, the well-marked low-pressure area lies over northeast parts of Bay of Bengal and adjoining region. This system is likely to intensify more and move north/northeastwards to Bangladesh Coast.

Thus, due to the presence of this system, warm and moist winds are affecting over Nagaland region. Hence, we expect heavy rainfall activity to occur over many places of Nagaland with very heavy at isolated places during next 24-36 hours.

Thereafter, again rain intensity is likely to decrease over the state.

Places like Mon, Mokokchung, Peren, Phek, Wokha, Twinsueng, Kohima, Kiphire and Zunheboto are likely to receive heavy rainfall.

Day temperatures which are currently settling in the mid-20’s will be seen decreasing significantly over the entire state.
