Kohima: The Nagaland State Disaster Management Authority (NSDMA) has forecast widespread rainfall across the state till April 15, 2025.
In a weather advisory issued recently, the NSDMA stated that most districts in the state are likely to witness light to moderate rainfall, accompanied by cloudy skies and the possibility of thunderstorms and lightning at isolated locations.
According to the NSDMA, 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 are also likely to experience moderate to overcast rainfall conditions during this period.

It also highlighted that the foothill and lowland areas—including Dimapur, Nuiland, Chumoukedima, Bhandari, Baghty, Tizit, and Tuli—remain vulnerable to waterlogging and flash floods due to increased precipitation, especially in the hilly terrain.
