GUWAHATI, Aug 12 - The Regional Meteorology Centre (RMC), Guwahati has predicted rainfall at many places over Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh during the next 24 hours. A rainless state resulted in a sweltering heat condition at many places over the northeastern region for the past over one week.
