Mizoram is facing a critical question: How will the region respond to the severe weather conditions forecasted for the coming days? The answer is that the state’s disaster management department has issued an advisory warning of possible natural disasters, urging all deputy commissioners to remain on high alert.

From March 13 to 19, light to moderate rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds are expected across Northeast India. Wind speeds are projected to reach between 30 to 50 km/h in several areas, raising concerns about potential damage.

The current weather system could trigger intermittent rain, thunderstorms, and hailstorms specifically in Mizoram. Moderate rainfall of 5–15 mm/hr is likely in certain districts, which could lead to localized waterlogging and slippery road conditions.

In Kolasib district, recent hailstorms have already caused significant damage, affecting approximately 300 homes. The district administrations have been directed to monitor vulnerable locations closely and take necessary measures to protect infrastructure and crops.

“Further, recent warnings issued by the meteorological authorities indicate the likelihood of moderate rainfall (5–15 mm/hr), thunderstorms and gusty winds in certain districts, which may lead to localized waterlogging, slippery road conditions, traffic disruption and potential damage to vulnerable structures and standing crops,” officials stated.

To mitigate the impact of these weather conditions, all 11 districts in Mizoram are on high alert. The district emergency operation centres have been activated to ensure preparedness and swift response to any incidents that may arise.

“Wherever damage has occurred, necessary relief measures may be extended to affected persons strictly in accordance with the prevailing State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) norms, under due intimation to DM&R,” the advisory emphasized.

Mizoram has experienced recent hailstorms and unstable weather conditions, which have heightened the urgency of this advisory. The situation remains fluid, and authorities are closely monitoring developments.

As the weather unfolds, residents and officials alike are bracing for the potential challenges ahead. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the impact these weather conditions may have.

Delhi NCR has recently experienced gusty winds and rain, bringing much-needed relief from rising temperatures. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted a wet spell in the region from March 19 to March 21, with conditions expected to stabilize from March 22 onwards.

In addition to Delhi NCR, other regions in Southern India are also preparing for significant weather changes. Hyderabad is expected to see a generally cloudy sky with moderate rain, with temperatures ranging from a low of 20°C to a high of 35°C. Meanwhile, Amaravati is forecasted to have a similar cloudy sky with one or two spells of rain or thundershowers, with temperatures between 24°C and 34°C.

Thiruvananthapuram, too, is likely to experience a partly cloudy sky with possible rain or thunderstorms, with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 35°C.

Kerala is under a fresh weather advisory from the IMD, predicting widespread light to moderate rainfall. A green alert has been issued for all 14 districts of Kerala, indicating that light rain is very likely. Gusty winds reaching speeds of up to 40 km/h are expected in the northern and central districts of the state.

Residents in Kerala are advised to take precautions against potential hazards such as lightning and falling trees or power lines. The IMD’s proactive measures aim to ensure public safety during this wet spell.

As the weather continues to evolve, observers are closely monitoring the situation, particularly in Kerala where the green alert has raised awareness among residents. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact timing and intensity of the rainfall across various regions.
