Meghalaya is expected to experience higher-than-usual temperatures and less rainfall between April and June this year, as per the India Meteorological Department.
According to the department’s seasonal forecast, both daytime and nighttime temperatures in the state are likely to stay above normal. However, it has also mentioned that chances of heatwave conditions remain low during this period.
The report further suggests that rainfall across several parts of the Northeast, including Meghalaya, may remain below normal.
Officials have pointed out that the rise in temperature, both during the day and at night, could cause discomfort, especially when there is little or no rain. The lower rainfall may also affect water supply and farming activities, particularly in areas that depend heavily on rain.
