The trend of monsoon seems to be becoming aggressive once again across the country. According to the latest bulletin of India Meteorological Department (IMD), tomorrow i.e. on 8th September, monsoon clouds are going to rain heavily in more than twenty states of the country. Due to the influence of the cyclonic wind area over the North-West Bay of Bengal and the monsoon trough line passing through Central India, the weather is going to take a sudden turn in many areas of Eastern, Central and Northern India. Meteorologists have warned that there is a serious possibility of thunderstorms and lightning at a speed of 70 to 80 kilometers per hour in some states in the next 24 hours.
While in the plains of Eastern India the temperature may drop by four to five degrees due to continuous rains, there is a risk of landslides in the hilly areas. Due to the intense moist winds coming from the Bay of Bengal, the water level in the river valleys and coastal areas is likely to rise rapidly. The Meteorological Department has issued instructions to the local administration and disaster management units to remain alert so that any untoward situation can be dealt with immediately.
