Met Office

According to the Alipore Met Office, a well-marked low-pressure system was over West Bengal until Tuesday. It has now shifted to northeast Madhya Pradesh and its surrounding areas. But there's no relief, as a low-pressure line from Uttar Pradesh to Bangladesh and a monsoon trough are active. The combined effect of these two is causing heavy to very heavy rain in South Bengal.
