IMD Forecasts Continued Rain and Thunderstorms Across South Bengal Till Mid-July

Heavy rain, thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds are expected in districts like Howrah, Hooghly, East Burdwan, Nadia, and Midnapore, with Kolkata experiencing light to moderate rain and cloudy skies. A cyclonic circulation over Bangladesh and the monsoon trough contribute to moisture influx, causing widespread rainfall and possible waterlogging and traffic disruptions.
