DIMAPUR, MARCH 15 (MExN): After witnessing on and off rains, Nagaland is now gearing up for an extended spell of rain and thundershowers. According to NSDMA Weather forecast, light to moderate rain and thundershowers are likely to lash almost the entire state, inclusive of both plains as well as hills from March 15-18, 2018. This was informed in a press note from the Nagaland State Disaster Management Authority (NSDMA). The note informed that all districts - Dimapur, Kiphire, Kohima, Longleng, Mokokchung, Mon, Peren, Phek, Tuensang, Wokha, and Zunheboto all stand a fair chance of good showers. The sky will remain cloudy to overcast during this time period. These showers will be intermittent in nature. Chances of hailstorm also cannot be ruled out over a few areas. Partial clearance will be seen on March 18 but rains with reduced intensity will continue. These upcoming showers can be attributed to the cyclonic circulation presently seen over West Bengal. The system would gradually move eastwards over Assam, Meghalaya and Nagaland and will start affecting the region tomorrow onwards.
