Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya will experience these conditions from Friday to next Tuesday (October 7-11), whereas Mizoram and Tripura will experience the rain spell between Sunday and Tuesday (October 9-11).
Therefore, these states will be placed on a yellow watch during their respective heavy rainfall days.
