Guwahati, May 15: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a fresh weather alert for Guwahati and several districts of Assam. Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning, heavy to very heavy rainfall, and gusty winds are very likely at isolated places over the next two to three days.
According to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), this weather pattern may lead to waterlogging in low-lying areas, slow vehicular movement, and increased risk of localised landslides in vulnerable pockets of Guwahati in Kamrup Metro district.
The district authorities and ASDMA are closely monitoring the situation, with emergency response systems kept on high alert. Residents have been urged to take all necessary precautions and remain vigilant during this spell of intense pre-monsoon activity.

- Daily commuters and long-distance travellers are advised to plan their routines accordingly and avoid unnecessary movement during periods of heavy rainfall.

Several flood and waterlogging-prone areas in Guwahati have already been affected by recent pre-monsoon showers, disrupting normal life.
