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
