Guwahati, June 17 -- The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued a red alert for Assam, predicting extremely heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, and squalls for June 18 and 19, 2025.

An orange alert will follow on June 20, covering both Assam and Meghalaya.

This severe weather pattern is expected to bring heavy to very heavy rainfall in isolated areas across various districts of Assam over the next two to three days.

Authorities warn that this could significantly worsen waterlogging, impede vehicular movement, and heighten the risk of localized landslides in vulnerable regions.

The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) is closely monitoring the evolving situation, with emergency response systems on high alert.
