Rainfall intensity is predicted to rise from Thursday, with heavy showers in East Midnapore, North 24 Parganas, and South 24 Parganas. On Friday, heavy rainfall may occur in East Burdwan, Murshidabad, Nadia, North and South 24 Parganas, and East Midnapore.

In North Bengal, rainfall is expected to increase from Wednesday. Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar, and Kalimpong districts have been put on alert for heavy rain, with intense showers likely in Jalpaiguri and Alipurduar on Thursday and Friday. Kolkata will see overcast skies with one or two spells of light to moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning.
