The Meteorological Department has warned that heavy rainfall is likely to affect the southern districts of West Bengal in the coming days, as new low‑pressure systems form over the Bay of Bengal.
The systems are expected to bring intense showers, with rainfall totals that could exceed 200 mm in some areas. The department has advised residents in vulnerable districts to take precautionary measures, including securing loose objects and avoiding low‑lying areas.
Local authorities have been notified and are preparing emergency response plans. The forecast also indicates a chance of flooding in riverine and coastal communities, prompting calls for heightened vigilance.
Meteorologists say the weather pattern is part of the monsoon season’s typical activity, but the intensity of the incoming systems could lead to significant rainfall disruptions.
Residents are urged to stay updated through official weather bulletins and to heed any evacuation orders issued by local authorities.
