The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a warning on Monday regarding the sustained presence of cyclonic circulations over northeast Assam and surrounding areas, situated at altitudes between 1.5 and 3.1 kilometers above mean sea level.
Adding to the weather complexities, a trough stretches from north Bihar to Manipur, traversing through Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and southern Assam, positioned at a height of 0.9 kilometers above mean sea level.
Notably, the cyclonic circulation originating from north Bangladesh has amalgamated with this elongated trough, exacerbating the precipitation prospects in the region.
