      Shillong ( Meghalaya ), April 04 : The incessant rain that lashed Meghalaya during the past three days has brought untold suffering to a large number of people, when heavy rains created havoc in Mawlat village under Mawkynrewin East Khasi Hills District.

      Four houses, one shop and two Durbar halls were destroyed due to landslides.

      In Shillong, there was a minor landslide in Lawmali Road and a portion of the debris fell into the Umkhrah River. The landslide was triggered by incessant rain last night.

      A massive landslide caused by incessant rain today morning also occurred on Shillong-Pynursla Road in East Khasi Hills District and disrupted the traffic movement. The people of Khadar Shnong in Sohra area of East Khasi Hills experienced artificial flood caused due to deplorable condition of the roads .

      The India Meteorology Department (IMD) records showed Sohra received 190 mm rainfall in 24 hours till 8.30 a.m. on April 1, 360 mm on April 2, barely 2.6 mm on April 3 and again, 150 mm till 8.30 a.m. on April 4.
      Similarly, a nearby station Cherrapunji RKM recorded 140 mm rainfall on April 1; 370 mm rains on April 2; barely 4.3 mm on April 3 while the data for Monday was not yet available.

      Mawsynram recorded 330 mm on April 1, 390 mm on April 2, barely 2.4 mm on April 3 while Monday’s data was not available.

      The IMD terms rainfall between 64.5 to 115.5 mm as ‘Heavy Rain’; between ‘115.6 to 204.4 mm’ as ‘Very Heavy Rain’, and anything above 204.4 mm as ‘Extremely Heavy Rain’.

      Incidentally, most other areas in Meghalaya too have been receiving heavy rainfall but it is only these two places that have been receiving bountiful rains. Rainfall recorded till 8.30 a.m. on Monday for other places in Meghalaya includes: Amlarem – 410 mm, Mawkarwat – 240 mm, Jowai – 200 mm, Mawphlang – 190 mm.

      “These places – Mawsynram and Sohra – have a very typical shape of catchment area and presence of orographic features. The catchment is funnel shaped and opening towards south – facing Bay of Bengal – so whenever moisture-laden southerly winds are coming in lower level, they hit these places almost at 90 degrees and due to orographic lifting, these areas get enhanced rainfall,” explained Sunit Das from IMD Guwahati.

      The IMD records have shown that Cherrapunji has received as much as 644.2 mm rainfall in the pre-monsoon season on April 16, 1990. In recent times, it was 420 mm on April 24, 2016 and 330 mm on April 27, 2017.

      Under the influence of strong southwesterly winds from the Bay of Bengal to the northeastern states at lower tropospheric levels, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall is very likely over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam-Meghalaya during the next five days and isolated to scattered rainfall over Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura during the next two days and reduction thereafter.

      Isolated heavy rainfall is also likely over Arunachal Pradesh on Tuesday and over Assam-Meghalaya on April 5, 7 and 8 and over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal-Sikkim during April 5-7.

      Official sources in Meghalaya said that two lives were lost in the state due to incessant rain during the last few days.
