There were other districts that witnessed light showers such as Burdwan 9 mm, Jamshedpur 8 mm, Bankura 7 mm, Diamond Harbour 6 mm, Sriniketan 5 mm and Asansol 4 mm.
Skymet Weather expects this trough to persist and thus, good rains will continue over eastern and central parts of Jharkhand and northern districts of West Bengal. Kolkata and the remaining districts of Gangetic West Bengal could see scattered rains for now, but these rains will not be very heavy in intensity.
