Cumulonimbus clouds around Gauhati Airport observed during 1970-75 with the help of 3 cm  Bendix radar were studied. That study revealed that generally Ob tops did not exceed 12 km. Highest probability for Cb development is around 08, 12 and 16 GMY during pre-monsoon in southern and western scctors.

When monsoon rainfall is higher than normal, Cb development is more in southern sector and monsoon rainfall curve follows the trend of pre-monsoon Cb curve.
