Rain lashes parts of south Bengal, more showers in store


Moderate to heavy rain lashed parts of south Bengal, including Kolkata, on Sunday under the impact of a deep depression in the region, the IMD said. A deep depression is a more intense stage of a low-pressure system and typically precedes the formation of a cyclonic storm.

The weather system lay about 40 km west-northwest of Kolkata and 130 km east-southeast of Bankura, it said.

The deep depression is likely to move westwards across Jharkhand and north Chhattisgarh, and weaken gradually into a depression during the subsequent 24 hours, the weather office said.

Kolkata and its neighbourhood recorded over 62 mm rainfall during 6:30 am on Saturday and 8.30 am on Sunday, it said.
