⚠️ Heavy Rainfall, Flash Flood & Landslide Alert for Northeast India — Meteora Warns of Low Pressure Impact in 72 Hours

Published: May 30, 2025

In a major weather development, the Meteora Weather Service has issued a severe weather alert for the northeastern states of India as a low-pressure system brews over the Bay of Bengal. Over the next 72 hours, the region is expected to face extremely heavy rainfall, significantly raising the threat of flash floods and landslides.

🌧️ Weather Outlook: What’s Brewing?

According to Meteora’s latest atmospheric data, a strong low-pressure area forming over the central Bay of Bengal is likely to track towards the Northeast. This system is expected to pull in massive moisture from the sea and unleash intense downpours, particularly in areas with hilly terrain and poor drainage.

🚨 States Under Alert

The following regions are at high risk between May 31 and June 2:

  • Assam (especially Upper Assam districts)

  • Arunachal Pradesh (Tawang, West Siang, and Papum Pare)

  • Sikkim (North and East districts)

  • Meghalaya (Khasi and Jaintia Hills)

  • Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura

⚠️ Anticipated Hazards

Meteora has flagged several serious threats:

  • Flash Flooding: In urban areas, river valleys, and along foothills.

  • Landslides: Particularly in Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, and Meghalaya due to saturated soil and steep gradients.

  • Disrupted Connectivity: Road blockages, delayed railways, and potential damage to bridges.

  • Power and Communication Outages: Especially in remote and hilly areas.

🛑 Safety Guidelines

Residents and travelers are strongly advised to:

  • Postpone non-essential travel to affected zones.

  • Avoid riversides, steep slopes, and construction sites.

  • Charge mobile phones and prepare a basic emergency kit (torch, food, water, first aid).

  • Keep track of local evacuation advisories or shelter updates.

🚨 Meteora’s Emergency Coordination

Meteora has coordinated with state disaster management units to:

  • Set up real-time weather monitoring systems in vulnerable districts.

  • Alert local panchayats and village authorities.

  • Issue community-level SMS and radio alerts to isolated regions.
