Low-Pressure Area to Bring Heavy Rainfall to South and North Bengal from August 12
A low-pressure area is expected to form over the northwest Bay of Bengal around August 12, bringing heavy rainfall to south Bengal, including districts like South 24 Parganas, Purba and Paschim Medinipur, Jhargram, and Kolkata. The system will cause thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds of 30-40 kmph. North Bengal districts such as Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar, Darjeeling, Kalimpong, and Cooch Behar are also forecasted to experience heavy rain and thundershowers through mid-August. Squally weather with strong winds is anticipated along the coast as well.
