The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a forecast warning of continuous rain and thunderstorms across Arunachal Pradesh until August 28.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather bulletin on Tuesday warning that heavy rainfall and thunderstorms are expected to persist across Arunachal Pradesh until August 28. The forecast covers the entire state, with the western and central districts likely to experience the most intense downpours.
Meteorologists advise residents in flood‑prone areas to stay alert and to secure loose objects that could become airborne during the storms. Local authorities have been urged to prepare emergency response teams and to ensure that evacuation routes remain clear.
The forecast also highlights the potential for landslides in the hilly terrain, especially in the eastern districts where rainfall intensity is projected to be highest. Schools and public offices are advised to monitor updates from the IMD and to suspend non‑essential activities if conditions worsen.
The IMD will continue to update its predictions as the monsoon season progresses, and residents are encouraged to check the department’s official website or local radio for real‑time alerts.
