**Kolkata Drenched, South Bengal Braces for More Rain as Remnants of Typhoon Wipha Fuel Deep Depression**
**Kolkata, [Date – Assume today’s date]** – Kolkata woke up to a day of heavy rainfall, and the downpour is expected to continue across South Bengal in the coming days. The culprit? A deep depression formed from the remnants of Typhoon Wipha.
What started as a powerful typhoon has weakened into a cyclonic circulation, moved into the Bay of Bengal, and intensified into a low-pressure area. This system merged with another cyclonic circulation, strengthening further into a deep depression, prompting the Meteorological Department to issue warnings for heavy to very heavy rainfall across coastal districts.
The weather office forecasts that Purulia, Purba Medinipur, Jhargram, Hooghly, and South 24 Parganas districts are likely to experience rainfall exceeding 200mm today, Friday. Other districts will see scattered thunderstorms with light to moderate rainfall and gusty winds. The weekend will also see continued heavy rainfall across South Bengal, with Paschim Medinipur, Jhargram, Purulia, Bankura, Purba and Paschim Bardhaman, and Birbhum districts at higher risk on Saturday. On Sunday, heavy rainfall is expected in North and South 24 Parganas, Purba Medinipur, Purba Bardhaman, Nadia, and Murshidabad districts.
Fishermen have been advised against venturing into the sea.
Kolkata itself is expected to experience intermittent spells of thunderstorms with light to moderate rainfall throughout Friday. The city’s temperature today is 25.7 degrees Celsius, with yesterday’s maximum reaching 33.3 degrees Celsius. Municipal authorities are actively working to manage waterlogging caused by the overnight rain.
North Bengal is also expected to receive rainfall, with Kalimpong and Jalpaiguri likely to experience heavy rainfall on Friday. Darjeeling, Kalimpong, and Alipurduar districts are expected to receive heavy rainfall on Saturday. Darjeeling and Kalimpong will also see heavy rain on Sunday. While rainfall will continue in all districts of North Bengal on Monday and Tuesday, the intensity is expected to decrease.
