The Nagaland State Disaster Management Authority (NSDMA) has issued a comprehensive weather alert forecasting widespread rainfall across all districts of the state from July 1 to July 8, 2025. The rains are expected to intensify between July 2 and July 6, with the potential for thunderstorms, lightning, and very heavy downpours in certain regions.
According to an official statement from the NSDMA, “Nagaland will experience rainfall in all the districts starting from 1st of July till the 8th of July, 2025. These showers may be accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning in all the districts.”
Districts like Kiphire and Tuensang are particularly vulnerable, with predictions indicating “very heavy rainfall on 2nd and 3rd July, 2025.” The NSDMA warns that these conditions may disrupt normal life and pose risks to safety, especially in low-lying areas and hilly terrains prone to waterlogging and flash floods.
“Due to the risk of high precipitation in the hill sector, Nagaland’s lowland and foothill districts, including Dimapur, Niuland, Chümoukedima, Bhandari, Baghty, Tizit, and Tuli, may be vulnerable to inundated waterlogging and flash floods,” the NSDMA stated.
The NSDMA has urged citizens to exercise caution and remain alert to weather advisories. “It is vital to take necessary measures in this period, including avoiding lightning strikes and high winds,” it cautioned. Disruptions in road transport and connectivity are also anticipated.
All District Disaster Management Authorities (DDMAs) and relevant line departments have been instructed to stay on high alert. “The NSDMA, Home Department, also requests all the District Disaster Management Authorities and other line departments to remain on high alert to safeguard lives and property during the monsoon season,” it stated.
Citizens are advised to follow official updates and take all necessary precautions during this period of increased weather-related risk.
