The trough extending from West Assam to North Bay of Bengal is becoming insignificant now. Isolated rainfall is likely to continue over the northeast sector. However, mainly dry weather is expected over the upper portion of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh over the next few days.
Rainfall deficiency over Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura currently stands at 29%. Individually speaking, Nagaland maintains a deficiency of 49%, Manipur 27%, and Mizoram 40%. These three states are heading towards drought. Tripura however maintains a positive rainfall figure of 3%. Though another spell of rain is likely to occur over these states, it won’t be sufficient to bridge the gap of rainfall deficiency.
The state of Assam is in a good condition with recorded rainfall settling at 5%. But uneven distribution of rain in this part of the country has led to deficiency in certain areas. For example, Golaghat faces a deficiency of 35% and Karbi Anglong district faces a deficiency of 24%.
Arunachal Pradesh has recorded normal rains at 8%. But the East Kameng district in the region is running deficient by 67%. Tawang is deficient by 54% and Tirap by 46%.
