Dimapur: The Nagaland State Disaster Management Authority (NSDMA) on Tuesday said the state will experience light rainfall and cloudy moderate rain in almost all the districts till April 15.

In its weather update, the NSDMA said these showers may be accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning in isolated places.

During this period, intermittent rainfall is expected in the districts of Kiphire, Kohima, Longleng, Mokokchung, Mon, Noklak, Peren, Phek, Shamator, Tseminyu, Tuensang, Wokha, and Zunheboto.
The remaining districts may receive cloudy moderate rain and overcast moderate rain.

The NSDMA advised that it is vital to take the necessary measures during this period, including avoiding lightning strikes and high winds, which can disrupt communication and connectivity.
