Tripura weather is on high alert as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast Heavy to Extremely Heavy Rainfall across the state from May 28 to May 31, 2025. In response, the Tripura Revenue Department has issued a high-priority advisory to all district administrations, urging swift preparedness and public awareness.
What’s Causing This?
The extreme weather is due to a low-pressure area forming over the Northwest Bay of Bengal, near the Odisha coast. This weather system is expected to trigger intense downpours, accompanied by squally to gusty winds across all eight districts of the state.
