According to the IMD, regions in the sub-Himalayan districts will also experience heavy downpour from July 25 to 28.

Notably affected areas include North and South 24 Parganas, East and West Midnapore, Jhargram, Bankura, and Purulia, alongside isolated severe showers anticipated in other parts of south Bengal.
