Early in the week, districts in South Bengal, including Kolkata, are likely to witness thunderstorms accompanied by strong winds reaching up to 60 kmph. Areas such as West Midnapore, Purulia, Bankura, and Jhargram face a higher risk on Monday, with occasional hailstorms reported in parts of Nadia, Hooghly, and North 24 Parganas. While Monday may see intense activity, wind speeds could settle slightly to 30–40 kmph by Tuesday, though scattered rain and lightning will persist.
