IMD Sees Wet Dashami in West Bengal as Bay Low Takes Shape

Forecasters attribute the looming rain to an Andaman Sea circulation expected to spawn a Bay of Bengal low by October 1.

Overview

  • Kolkata is set for mostly clear weather through Tuesday, with rain likely from Wednesday night during Navami.
  • Heavy rain is likely in the city on Vijaya Dashami on Thursday and may continue into Friday, according to RMC Kolkata.
  • IMD expects light to moderate rainfall across most of West Bengal from October 2–5 with isolated heavy to very heavy spells in some districts.
  • Heavier rain is likely in several northern districts after Dashami, and district advisories flag thunderstorms and lightning for specified South Bengal areas on Ashtami.
  • Fishermen are barred from venturing into the north and central Bay adjacent to Odisha, West Bengal and Bangladesh on Thursday and Friday due to rough seas.
