Isolated heavy rainfall is likely over Arunachal Pradesh on Sunday (tomorrow) and Monday over Assam and Meghalaya on three days from Sunday over Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura on Sunday and Monday over the hills of West Bengal and Sikkim from today (Saturday) to Tuesday.

This (Saturday) morning, the IMD said that the ongoing seasonal thunderstorm activity (Kal Baishakhi) over North-East India and parts of East India will continue variously over the hills and plains. There is a low probability of its intensification into a stronger weather system (likely storm/depression). The enhanced rainfall phase of the MJO can also initiate the onset of monsoon seasons while the suppressed rainfall phase can delay monsoon onsets or set up a mid-monsoon ‘break’ evidenced best when rainfall activity shuts out for a brief or a medium-term depending on the wave amplitude.Īn IMD assessment earlier this week had said that under the influence of the MJO wave, a low-pressure area’ is likely to form over central parts of the South Arabian Sea during May 14-20. It impacts the tropical cyclone (low-pressure areas) and monsoon activity in this manner across the globe.

The pre-monsoon weather is being favourably influenced by a passing Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) wave, a cloud and rain-bearing wave that travels from West to East over the Indian Ocean periodically. On Thursday, rain lashed many places over Kerala a few places over Lakshadweep area, Coastal Karnataka and North Interior Karnataka and at isolated places over Tamil Nadu, South Interior Karnataka, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema and Telangana, the Chennai Met Centre said.
