On Sunday night, Cyclone Remal made landfall in Northeast India after crossing the Bay of Bengal, bringing heavy rainfall and strong winds across several states. The cyclone moved past Bangladesh, transitioning into a deep depression.

Cyclone Remal caused significant disruptions to air, rail, and road transportation in Kolkata and southern Bengal. Several trains were cancelled by the Eastern and South Eastern Railways, while Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata suspended flight operations for 21 hours, affecting 394 flights.

A low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal has intensified into cyclonic storm 'Remal' and is likely to make landfall in West Bengal on Sunday. This is the first cyclone in the Bay of Bengal this pre-monsoon season.

The IMD predicted that Kolkata, Howrah, Hooghly, North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, East Midnapore, West Midnapore, and Jhargram will likely to experience thunderstorms with lightning and rain on Friday.
