These weather conditions can be attributed to a feeble cyclonic circulation which is seen over East Bihar and adjoining areas. Due to this, scattered light to moderate rains are likely over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal including districts such as Jalpaiguri, Kalimpong, Siliguri and Coochbehar during the next 24 to 48 hours.
Thereafter, the intensity of these rains is further expected to reduce gradually over the aforementioned region. After 48 hours, several places in Sub-Himalayan West Bengal will experience dry weather conditions.
As per Skymet Weather, there are possibilities of a probable depression to form over central parts of Bay of Bengal and is likely to move further in a northwest direction towards Odisha Coast.
