The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning for West Bengal, predicting significant rainfall from Thursday onwards, coinciding with Bijoya Dashami celebrations. The cause is a low-pressure area forming over the central Bay of Bengal, expected to develop into a depression by Thursday.
This weather system is likely to bring heavy to very heavy rainfall to districts such as Howrah, South 24 Parganas, and Purba Medinipur. Kolkata and other regions like Hooghly and Jhargram will also witness substantial downpours.
Further north, districts including Darjeeling and Kalimpong are expected to experience similar weather conditions into the weekend. The IMD advises fishermen to avoid the seas off the Odisha and West Bengal coasts due to anticipated rough conditions.
