**South Bengal Braces for Week-Long Rainfall, Heavy Showers Expected in Several Districts**

**Kolkata, India –** South Bengal is unlikely to get respite from the current wet spell anytime soon, according to the Alipore Meteorological Department. A low-pressure system forming over the Bay of Bengal, coupled with active monsoon winds, is responsible for the continuous rainfall.

Kolkata is expected to experience thunderstorms and lightning on Monday, with wind speeds reaching 30-40 kmph. Similar weather conditions are forecasted for Howrah, Hooghly, North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, Bankura, Purba Bardhaman, Birbhum, Murshidabad, and Nadia.

Heavy rainfall is likely in Purba Medinipur, Paschim Medinipur, Purulia, Jhargram, and Paschim Bardhaman. A special alert has been issued for Tuesday for South 24 Parganas, Paschim Bardhaman, and Purulia districts, with a high probability of heavy downpours.
