The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) reports that a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal, located along the West Bengal–Odisha coast, is likely to move north-northwestward and cross the Bengal–Odisha coasts by Monday afternoon. Ahead of the system’s landfall, IMD forecasts very heavy rainfall over parts of south Bengal. Coastal and adjoining districts including Paschim Medinipur and Jhargram are expected to receive very heavy rainfall. Other areas such as South 24 Parganas and Purba Medinipur are forecast to experience heavy downpours as the weather system affects the region. The forecast period extends through July 28 for heavy rainfall in these districts. The IMD’s warning focuses on the potential for intense precipitation associated with the depression’s movement along the coast. Residents across the affected districts are expected to face disruptions due to sustained heavy rain conditions as the system tracks toward the Bengal–Odisha coastal belt.
