IMD Warns of Heavy Rain and Rough Seas in Bengal and Odisha Until July 27
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings of heavy to very heavy rainfall across South Bengal and Odisha until July 27, driven by an active monsoon and a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal. Coastal districts, including South 24 Parganas, Purba Medinipur, and parts of Odisha, are expected to experience intense rain and squally weather. Fishermen have been advised to avoid venturing into the sea due to rough conditions. Thunderstorms, gusty winds, and potential waterlogging are also forecasted in Kolkata and surrounding areas.
