Bengal Weather Update: The Meteorological Department has forecast heavy rain in South Bengal and very to very heavy rain in North Bengal districts over the next few days. Kolkata has been witnessing light to moderate rain activity since Wednesday morning. Showers are expected to cause traffic snarls in certain areas.

“The monsoon trough at mean sea level now passes through Amritsar, Patiala, Muzaffarnagar, Kheri, Valmiki Nagar and thence east-northeastwards to the Arunachal Pradesh close to foot hills of Himalayas. An upper air cyclonic circulation lies over north Bangladesh and neighborhoods between 4.5 and 7.6 km above mean sea level. Under the presence of above meteorological conditions, widespread light to moderate rainfall with isolated heavy rainfall activity is very likely over some districts of West Bengal,” IMD said in its bulletin.
