GUWAHATI: Heavy rain lashes Guwahati on Sunday during the Solar Eclipse. Normally this would be welcomed by the residents of Guwahati given the amount of heat that is received. However, on the day when India was witnessing a historic solar eclipse, the rain hampered the view for Guwahatians.
Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) warned about rainfall in parts of northern India which could hamper the view of the solar eclipse which is one of only 5 instances in the next 100 years where a full solar eclipse was visible across India.
Vehicular movement in Guwahati was also less in comparison to other days.
It is to be mentioned that the partial eclipse began at 10: 57 AM at Guwahati.
