A low‑pressure system over the Bay of Bengal is expected to bring heavy rainfall to eastern India in the coming days, according to meteorological forecasts.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that a low‑pressure system over the Bay of Bengal is likely to bring heavy rainfall to eastern states within the next 48 hours.
The system is projected to affect Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand and parts of Andhra Pradesh, with rainfall amounts ranging from 50 to 150 mm in some areas.
Meteorologists advise residents in low‑lying districts to stay alert, keep emergency supplies ready, and avoid traveling on flooded roads.
The IMD has issued a rain‑storm alert for the coastal belt, urging local authorities to prepare for possible landslides and river flooding.
The heavy rains are part of a larger seasonal pattern, but the intensity of this low‑pressure area has raised concerns among officials and communities alike.
