The IMD has predicted light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms in several districts of South Bengal over the next few hours. Areas including Purba Bardhaman, Paschim Bardhaman, Purba Medinipur, Nadia, Murshidabad, Birbhum, Hooghly, and North and South 24 Parganas are likely to witness rainfall at multiple locations.
Other districts in South Bengal may also receive scattered showers and thunderstorms. In some places across the affected districts, strong gusty winds reaching speeds of 40–50 kmph could accompany thunderstorm activity, increasing the risk of localised disruptions.
