Bengal Weather: India Meteorological Department (IMD) has stated that under the influence of the upper air cyclonic circulation over southwest Bangladesh and Gangetic West Bengal, a low pressure area has formed over Northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining West Bengal and Bangladesh coasts. The associated cyclonic circulation extends up to 7.6 km above mean sea level. It is likely to move slowly west-northwestwards across North Odisha, Gangetic West Bengal and Jharkhand. As a result, light to moderate rainfall at most places with isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is very likely in some districts of West Bengal. Rain accompanied by thunder and gusty winds are likley to hit Kolkata on Monday.

Rain has been lashing Kolkata since Monday morning. According to the weather body, scattered light to moderate rains will continue in South Bengal districts throughout the week.
