Get ready for a wild weekend.! The weather office warns of dark clouds, fierce storms and hail crashing down on Bengal. Starting Friday, March 21st and peaking on Saturday, March 22nd nine districts will face nature’s wrath with heavy rain, thunder and gusty winds. Relief from the heat.? Maybe—but it comes with a stormy twist.!

Details & Context

Bengal’s been sweating under a scorching sun this March, with Kolkata and beyond desperate for a break. Light showers have teased here and there but nothing’s cooled the sticky heat—until now. The weather department says a big change is coming. On Saturday March 22nd expect heavy downpours in Birbhum, East Bardhaman, Murshidabad, Nadia, North and South 24 Parganas and East Medinipur.

Friday kicks off the chaos with scattered rain, lightning, and winds up to 60 kmph across South Bengal. North Bengal won’t escape either—hail might pelt Malda, South Dinajpur and Alipurduar. By Sunday the stormy spell spreads wider, with Kolkata bracing for thunder and gusts too. Experts blame swirling air patterns from Madhya Pradesh to Odisha, plus a western disturbance hitting the northwest hills by March 24th. It’s a recipe for a rainy, windy showdown.!
