In terms of recorded weather, Guwahati observed a maximum temperature of 34.0°C yesterday, which was 2.1°C above normal, and a minimum of 19.5°C today, slightly below normal by 0.6°C.

At the regional level, a cyclonic circulation lies over South Assam at 1.5 km above mean sea level, while a western disturbance and multiple troughs continue to influence the weather in the Northeast. As a result, moderate rain is very likely over many parts of Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh, with light to moderate rainfall over parts of Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura over the next few days.

Warnings have been issued for April 13, forecasting thunderstorms with lightning and gusty winds reaching up to 40–50 km/h at isolated places in Assam. Residents are advised to stay updated through official IMD channels and apps like Mausam, Meghdoot, and Damini for location-specific forecasts and alerts.
