Good rainfall activity was observed in the eastern parts of the country along with many places in West Bengal and Odisha that recorded moderate to heavy rains. In fact, Sambalpur in Odisha recorded heavy rain to the tune of 78 mm.
In the last 24 hours from 08:30 am on Friday, Midnapore recorded 52.8 mm of rain, followed by Puri 51 mm, Darjeeling 50 mm, Malda 40.9m mm, Koraput 26.4 mm, Pulbani 23 mm, Gopalpur 12.3 mm, Baharampur 7 mm, Digha 8.4 mm, Kolkata 5.2 mm, Jharsuguda 4.4 mm, Angul 2 mm, Balasore 0.4 mm and Bhawanipatna 1 mm.
At present a cyclonic circulation lies over Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining Northwest Bay of Bengal and Costal Odisha. The trough is titling southwestwards with height. Under the influence of this cyclonic circulation, a low-pressure is expected over the area.
Due to all these conditions, we expect rainfall activity to increase significantly over Gangetic West Bengal, North and Coastal Odisha during the next 48 hours. Strong gusty winds and lighting also may occur over few places of West Bengal and Odisha.
Talking about the capital cities i.e. Kolkata and Bhubaneshwar, moderate rainfall activity will be observed over these cities.
