The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall along with thunderstorm at the isolated places across the state in the next two to three days (till June 13, 2026) owing to current meteorological conditions and monsoon scenario in the state.
“The weather pattern suggests that thunderstorm with lightning with light to moderate rain at most places along with heavy (7-11cm/day) to very heavy (12-20cm/day) rainfall is very likely to occur at isolated places over the western and southern districts of the state in the coming two to three days which may aggravate water logging, flooding, flash floods, slow vehicular movement, and increase the risk of localised landslides in vulnerable pockets,” an official statement said on Wednesday evening.
The district authorities and Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) are closely monitoring the situation and emergency response systems are being kept on alert.
In view of the situation, ASDMA has requested residents of Guwahati city to take all necessary precautions and remain vigilant. Daily commuters and long-distance travellers are requested to plan their routines accordingly, avoiding unnecessary movement during periods of intense rainfall.
Residents in low-lying and hillside areas should stay alert for any signs of flooding or landslides. The status of the situation would be updated by ASDMA on its official website, https://asdma.assam.gov.in/resource/assam-weather-forecast and on all its social media handles from time to time for general awareness.
“Hence, people are urged to stay tuned to official weather updates and follow advisories issued by local authorities to ensure safety during this prolonged spell of rain,” it stated.
