In a press note, OSD NSDMA, Johnny Ruangmei, stated that the onset of Southwest monsoon over the mainland India was expected to occur around May 30. Both these weather conditions called for sensitive weather condition for the entire state, it added. 

NSDMA said that light to moderate rain/thundershowers was very likely to occur at few places which would get intense and could cause disruption in communication and connectivity.
