Weather Update: Heavy Rainfall and Strong Winds Expected in 8 Districts of South Bengal Today The Meteorological Department has issued a warning for heavy rainfall and gusty winds in eight districts of South Bengal today. The affected areas include Birbhum, East and West Bardhaman, Bankura, Hooghly, Howrah, and North 24 Parganas. The weather forecast indicates that wind speeds could reach 70-80 kilometers per hour, accompanied by intense rainfall. This warning follows a series of erratic weather patterns in the region, with the atmosphere remaining unstable despite some morning sunshine. According to the department’s latest update, the low-pressure system stretching from Bihar to Manipur has intensified over the northern parts of West Bengal, Assam, and Bangladesh. This system, combined with the influence of a cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bengal, has created the conditions for the current weather disturbance. The warning highlights that the region is likely to experience continuous rainfall and strong winds throughout the day, with the storm’s impact expected to persist into Wednesday. The forecast also notes that the situation may continue to worsen on Thursday, with additional rainfall and gusty winds affecting the same districts. However, there is a slight possibility of gradual improvement by Friday, as the weather system begins to stabilize. The department has urged residents to remain cautious and prepare for the potential disruptions caused by the heavy downpours and strong winds. In addition to South Bengal, the warning extends to parts of North Bengal, where Jalpaiguri and Alipurduar are at risk of receiving heavy rainfall. The areas in Malda, North and South Dinajpur, and Darjeeling are also expected to face similar weather conditions.#meteorological_department #south_bengal #hooghly #west_bardhaman #birbhum
West Bengal Weather Update: Rain and Storms Expected to Continue This Week in South Bengal Heavy rain and storm activity is expected to persist across South Bengal throughout the week, with the weather office issuing detailed forecasts for the region. According to the Alipore Weather Office, the storm system will bring intermittent thunderstorms, lightning, and heavy rainfall, particularly affecting areas such as Purulia, East and West Bardhaman, Birbhum, Murshidabad, Nadia, and North 24 Parganas. The intensity of the storms is projected to increase on Wednesday, with wind speeds reaching 50 to 60 kilometers per hour, accompanied by lightning and thunder. The weather forecast indicates that the storm will impact both urban and rural areas, with Kolkata and surrounding regions experiencing significant rainfall. On Monday night, temperatures dropped to 20 degrees Celsius due to the storm, creating a cooler, more comfortable climate. However, the weather office warns that the storm will continue to affect the region, with sporadic rainfall and lightning expected on Tuesday and Wednesday. The storm is attributed to a combination of factors, including a cyclonic system over Odisha and a low-pressure area in Uttar Pradesh, which has caused an influx of moisture into the Bay of Bengal. This moisture has led to the formation of thunderclouds, resulting in the expected heavy rainfall. The weather office has also noted that the storm will bring a significant drop in temperatures, with nighttime temperatures expected to remain below the normal range. In addition to the storm, the weather forecast highlights the potential for hailstorms, particularly in the southern parts of the state. The Alipore Weather Office has issued warnings that the storm could lead to localized flooding and disruptions in transportation.#purulia #alipore_weather_office #east_bardhaman #west_bardhaman #birbhum
