Mokokchung, 21 April (MTNews): Data from the India Meteorological Department shows that parts of northeast India are recording maximum temperatures near their historical highs for the month.
According to IMD, long heat spells are unusual in the region which usually records frequent thunderstorm activity in April and May. However this year, IMD noted that there have been fewer thunderstorms.
“There is no heat wave condition in the Northeast but the maximums are very high and they are being experienced continuously for the past few days. Normally, northeast India gets frequent thunderstorm activity during this time of the year so the temperature doesn’t spike. But this time the thunderstorm activity is less and soil is dry which is also leading to a steep rise in temperatures,” M Mohapatra, director general, IMD said.
Meanwhile, Mahesh Palawat, vice president, climate and meteorology, Skymet Weather observed that extremely high temperatures are being observed over the Northeast.
“It’s very rare for these regions to record heat waves or extremely high temperature conditions. Some areas in the plains in this region do record high temperatures during some years but this year it is prolonged and more importantly the region has not received adequate rainfall so the land surface is very warm and dry. The region may start recording some pre-monsoon showers in a couple of days,” Palwat continued.
Meanwhile, Nagaland recorded maximum temperature above normal by 3 to 5°C and minimum temperature above normal by 1.6°C to 3°C, according to Joint Director of Soil & Water Conservation & State Nodal Officer for Meteorology, Rongsenlemzung.

The issue is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
