Cherrapunji in India has received 645 mm of rainfall in the last three days. However, in the last 24 hours, the amount of rain in Cherrapunji has reduced.

It is expected that the flood situation in Sylhet will worsen if the rainfall increases. Rain continues in Sylhet. The water of the rivers of the district is flowing over the boundary line.
