Itanagar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced that rainfall activity in Arunachal Pradesh is expected to decrease gradually from Tuesday onward, providing relief after a period of heavy downpours.
According to the weather bulletin issued by the meteorological centre here on Monday, thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and heavy to very heavy rainfall are likely at isolated places, particularly in Anjaw, East Kameng, West Siang, Siang, Upper Siang and Lower Dibang Valley districts.
The IMD cautioned residents against possible waterlogging, traffic disruption, and minor landslides.
By Wednesday, the intensity of showers is expected to ease further, though thunderstorms with heavy rain remain likely in a few areas.
Only isolated to scattered showers are likely in most districts, with some eastern regions such as Tirap, Longding, and Changlang retaining chances of thunderstorms. Central and western belts are expected to see more breaks of sunshine as the system weakens.
