Low-pressure area over Bay of Bengal may bring rain to West Bengal ahead of Durga Puja

• A fresh low-pressure area has formed over southern coastal Myanmar and adjoining areas, moving into the Andaman Sea and becoming a well-marked low-pressure area.
• The system is expected to intensify into a depression and move northwards towards the Myanmar-Bangladesh coast within two days.

Impact & Risks

Fishermen operating in the east-central and northeast Bay of Bengal near the Myanmar-Bangladesh coast have been warned against venturing into the sea from Monday to Wednesday due to gusty winds and rough conditions. While no warnings have been issued for the West Bengal coast, the evolving weather system could bring rain to parts of the state, potentially affecting Durga Puja preparations. Heavy rainfall in South Bengal last week caused disruptions, and similar conditions may arise if the system intensifies further.
