DIMAPUR, JANUARY 12 (MExN): The Nagaland State Disaster Management Authority (NSDMA) has issued a weather advisory for the following days and urged the public to exercise caution to avoid any eventualities during this period.
A press release from the NSDMA further requested all the DDMAs and other line departments who are responsible to attend to any emergencies caused by natural calamities and to be on alert to save lives and properties during this monsoon period.
The NSDMA informed that Nagaland experienced dry weather during the last few days. “Easterly winds were blowing over entire northeast India including Nagaland. Remnants of western disturbance and humid winds from Bay of Bengal will initiate the weather activities over Northeast India,” it added.
Scattered light to moderate rain with few intense spells are expected to occur over many parts of Nagaland between January 12 and 13. Initially rain may cover northern parts of the state such as Wokha, Longleng, Mon, Tuensang, Mokokchung and Zunheboto. Gradually southern parts of the state will also come under rain activities. These rain activities may be accompanied by thunderstorm and lightning strikes.
The NSDMA further informed that the weather will start clearing up from January 14. However, there may be light isolated rains to continue over southern districts such as Phek, Kohima Dimapur, Kiphire and Peren. Due to rain activities and cloud cover, minimum temperature of the state may increase by 2-3 degree and day temperatures may drop marginally.
