The southwest monsoon’s dramatic onset in Northeast India has left a trail of destruction, claiming multiple lives and impacting thousands of people across five states.
Over the past three days, relentless rains have unleashed flash floods and landslides in Assam, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, and Tripura—collapsing buildings, washing away roads, and displacing thousands.
The India Meteorological Department has issued red alerts across the region, warning of further downpours that could intensify the crisis. Rescue efforts are being hindered by continuous rain and damaged infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department has forecast continued weather disturbances, including thunderstorms and rainfall, across Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) till Tuesday.
Delhi woke up on Monday to partly cloudy skies and a minimum temperature of 27.2°C—just slightly above the seasonal average. This continues a pattern of abnormally mild conditions in May. The capital has so far been spared the intense heatwaves typically associated with this time of year.
