Agartala, 20th March 2026: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for Tripura, warning of thunderstorms with lightning and strong winds over the next two days.
The IMD noted that a trough stretching from Jharkhand to West Assam, along with a cyclonic circulation over northwest Madhya Pradesh and adjoining south Uttar Pradesh, is influencing weather across the northeast. These conditions may trigger isolated thunderstorms with wind speeds of 30–50 kmph, and light to moderate rainfall is expected at one or two locations in Tripura on March 20–21, 2026.
Residents have been cautioned that gusty winds could reach 40–50 kmph in some areas.

Authorities have been advised to be prepared for potential disruptions to outdoor activities, electricity supply, and traffic, while the public is urged to limit unnecessary travel during the thunderstorms.
