A vortex, low pressure, and monsoon axis are affecting Gangetic West Bengal. This has caused continuous storms and rain for several days. Heavy rain is occurring in multiple districts. According to the Meteorological Department, the rain will continue on Friday. Light to moderate rain will occur in the southern districts from Saturday to Tuesday. Overall, the weather will change.

The vortex over Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining Bangladesh is now located over the northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining Gangetic Bengal and Odisha coast. The monsoon axis extends from Bikaner, Ranchi, and Digha to the northeast Bay of Bengal. Due to these factors, light to moderate rain will continue in most parts of Bengal for the next 24 hours.
