Rainfall Expected to Decrease in South Bengal as Depression Weakens and Moves Away
A depression over south Odisha and adjoining Chhattisgarh has weakened and moved away, leading to reduced rainfall in Kolkata and south Bengal over the next week. The India Meteorological Department forecasts light to moderate rain in Kolkata until Saturday afternoon, with most areas becoming largely dry from Sunday. However, north Bengal districts like Darjeeling and Kalimpong may experience heavy rainfall and thunderstorms on Saturday, with decreasing intensity thereafter. Coastal areas may see rough seas and gusty winds during this period.
