The meteorological department has identified a new low‑pressure area that is expected to increase rainfall over West Bengal in the coming days.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has flagged a fresh low‑pressure system moving towards West Bengal, signalling a rise in precipitation across the state. Forecasters expect the system to intensify over the next 48 hours, bringing intermittent showers and heavier rain in several districts.
Authorities have advised residents to stay alert, especially in low‑lying and flood‑prone areas, and to heed any local advisories regarding waterlogging or traffic disruptions. Agricultural zones may see a short‑term boost in soil moisture, but prolonged heavy rain could affect sowing schedules.
The IMD will continue to monitor the system and update the public through its regular weather bulletins. Citizens are encouraged to follow official channels for real‑time alerts and to take precautionary measures where necessary.
