IMD Warning: Heavy Rain in Northeast India, Heatwave in Gujarat

The Indian Meteorological Department has warned of a polarized weather scenario across the nation, with extreme rainfall expected in the east and south, while the west battles a punishing heatwave. The Northeast states, including Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh, are under a heavy rain alert for the next several days. The intensity is expected to peak around May 14-15, with Meghalaya and Assam potentially facing flooding conditions due to ‘extremely heavy’ downpours. This surge in moisture is linked to atmospheric instability and a developing low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal.
