Details & Context
After a brief 1.5-day respite, South Bengal including Kolkata is gearing up for a fresh wave of heavy to very heavy rainfall starting Monday, July 28th and continuing until Thursday, July 31st. According to the India Meteorological Department (@IMD), a low-pressure system over Madhya Pradesh and surrounding areas is intensifying monsoon activity, bringing high moisture levels and persistent rain. North Bengal will also face significant rainfall, particularly from Thursday, July 31st, through Saturday, August 2nd.

·       In South Bengal, districts like Purba and Paschim Bardhaman, Birbhum, Murshidabad and Nadia are on high alert for heavy rain on Monday. Tuesday, July 29th will see intensified showers in Nadia, North and South 24 Parganas, Hooghly, Purba Bardhaman and Bankura. By Wednesday, Birbhum and Murshidabad will continue to face heavy downpours, with rainfall expected to ease after Thursday afternoon. The @IMD predicts no significant heavy rain in South Bengal for at least 72 hours post-Thursday.

·       North Bengal’s weather takes a different rhythm. On Monday, heavy rain is expected only in Kalimpong, Malda and South Dinajpur. Tuesday and Wednesday will see scattered showers with lightning but heavy rainfall risks escalate from Thursday in Alipurduar and Jalpaiguri. By Friday, August 1st heavy rain alerts are issued for Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Alipurduar, Cooch Behar and Jalpaiguri continuing into Saturday.

·       Kolkata, the heart of Bengal will face cloudy skies and 100% humidity from Monday with rainfall intensifying on Monday and Tuesday. Last week’s heavy showers already disrupted daily life, causing waterlogging in several areas. This fresh spell could worsen conditions, especially in low-lying urban pockets.
