Deep Depression Makes Landfall: Heavy Rains Expected in West Bengal
A deep depression has made its way onto land, advancing further in the last few hours.According to the Alipore Meteorological Department, this weather system entered the coastal region between West Bengal and Bangladesh on Thursday morning, specifically near Raidighi, about 40 kilometers southwest of Canning.As a result, heavy rainfall is anticipated across various districts in both North and South Bengal, with showers already reported in several areas. The sea is also experiencing strong winds, prompting authorities to advise fishermen against venturing out. A red alert has been issued along the coast.
The deep depression has made landfall close to Raidighi, situated between the Sagar Islands of West Bengal and Khulna in Bangladesh. Over the next few hours, it is expected to move further north-northeast. However, as time progresses, the system will gradually lose strength, transitioning into a regular low-pressure area. This weather phenomenon serves as a reminder of the region’s vulnerability to monsoon-related disturbances, highlighting the need for preparedness among local communities. As the rains pour down, the emotional weight of anticipation hangs in the air, with residents bracing for the impact while hoping for minimal disruption.
