IMD forecasts heavy rainfall in parts of Tripura for 5 days from Aug 21

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued “Yellow” and “Orange” warnings and predicted heavy to very heavy rain in the South Tripura, Sepahijala, and Gomati districts.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday forecast heavy to very heavy rain in different parts of Tripura from August 21 to August 25.

As per the IMD forecast, heavy to very heavy rain of 7-20 cm is expected in one or two places in South Tripura district, and heavy rain of 7-11 cm in one or two places in the rest of the districts from Thursday till Saturday.

The IMD forecast heavy to very heavy rain of 7-20 cm in one or two places in the South, Sepahijala, and Gomati districts on August 24 and 25. Also, heavy rain of 7-11 cm is expected in one or two places in the other districts during the same period.

Last month, heavy rain left at least 840 people from 250 families homeless in different areas, mostly from Santirbazar and Belonia of South Tripura district.

While, IMD’s Agartala station on Wednesday said that on August 21, heavy rainfall (7-11 cm) is very likely to occur at few places with isolated very heavy rainfall at one or two places over West, Sepahijala, Gomati and South Tripura districts of Tripura and issued a ‘yellow’ warning.

Similarly, IMD issued a warning for heavy rainfall (7-20 cm) for one or two places over South Tripura district on August 22 and forecast light to moderate rain with thunderstorms will occur in many parts of all districts of Tripura and continued its ‘Yellow’ and “Orange” warnings for all districts of Tripura till August 24th next.

Agartala on Wednesday recorded   maximum temperature at 32.5 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature recorded at 25.8 degrees Celsius.

It may be recalled here that Last year, devastating floods claimed 38 lives, affected over 17 lakh people, and caused damage worth Rs 15,000 crore in road connectivity, power transmission, flood management infrastructure, domestic households and public infrastructure, livestock, agriculture, etc.

During the budget session in the Assembly this year, Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha said the state government was planning to increase the navigability of the Howrah River, which encircles large parts of Agartala city.

The Government says deforestation, soil erosion from the river basin, deposits in the riverbed, and siltation contribute to the lower water retention capacity of the river, which causes flooding even with low rainfall.
