The Meteorological Department has issued an urgent weather advisory warning of thunderstorms accompanied by rainfall and gusty winds across all districts of Tripura over the next 24 hours.

The state has been experiencing high temperatures and uncomfortable weather conditions in recent days, causing difficulties for residents across both urban and rural areas. Meteorological officials stated that the expected rain may help reduce temperatures and offer relief from the prevailing heat wave-like conditions.
Weather data released by the department indicates that the maximum daytime temperature is expected to remain around 35 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, Agartala recorded a minimum temperature of 28.1 degrees Celsius during the early hours of Saturday, reflecting continued warm conditions before the expected change in weather pattern.

People have also been asked to limit unnecessary outdoor movement during adverse weather conditions.
The latest weather forecast has generated hope among residents who have been struggling with the scorching summer temperatures.
