There are indications of a gradual shift in the state’s weather. Winter is nearly finished, and in its stead, temperatures are rising across South Bengal. The Meteorological Department’s forecast suggests that the minimum temperature has seen a slight increase in recent days, and it is expected to remain near normal in the upcoming days. However, a significant change in the weather (thunderstorms and rain) is anticipated at the start of the week.
Thunderstorms and Rainfall Forecast Across Districts
The Meteorological Department has stated that rain accompanied by thunderstorms is likely in several districts of the state from Sunday to Wednesday. Scattered light to moderate rainfall may occur. Additionally, gusty winds could reach speeds of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. There is also a chance of thundershowers in certain areas. The Meteorological Department noted that the sky will begin to turn partly cloudy starting Saturday, with favorable conditions for rain gradually developing. Particularly from Monday, an increase in rainfall is expected across various districts of both North and South Bengal.
Bay of Bengal Moisture Causing Weather Changes
Meteorologists attribute this weather change primarily to the significant influx of water vapor from the Bay of Bengal. Consequently, humidity levels in the air are rising. Due to fluctuations in temperature, fog may be observed in the mornings, especially in coastal and nearby districts.
Western Disturbance Impacting North Bengal
Conversely, a western storm is also impacting North Bengal. As a result, meteorologists anticipate that stormy conditions may arise in various districts of the state. Foggy conditions were reported in some areas of the city on Friday morning.
