Several parts of West Bengal will witness continuous rainfall in the coming days due to a low-pressure area forming over the Bay of Bengal adjacent to Odisha. The India Meteorological Department said the system will move west-northwest wards along the monsoon and will result in widespread showers in east and central India in the next 2-3 days.
“A low-pressure area lies over Northwest Bay of Bengal and neighbourhood. It is likely to move west-northwest wards along the monsoon trough during the next 2-3 days,” IMD tweeted on Thursday in its fresh updates about the weather changes due to the activities in the Bay of Bengal.
