The rise in temperature is due to low pressure system in Bay of Bengal, says IMD
Summer appears to have “encroached” upon autumn’s space, resulting in one of the hottest Octobers across the north-east in the last 50 years.
But the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted a few spells of rain or thundershowers in the next few days to tame the mercury.
Guwahati recorded an average of 37.07°C over three days till October 16, when most cities in the north-east registered a temperature of 4-5 degrees higher than usual.
