South Bengal Forecast: Heavy Rain Expected Through Monday

A low-pressure area is bringing rainy weather to South Bengal.

The rain may become heavier from Saturday to Monday.

South 24 Parganas, Hooghly and East Midnapore could get heavier rain on Saturday.

Several other districts may get heavy showers on Sunday and Monday.

Kolkata is expected to stay cloudy with occasional light to moderate rain.

North Bengal may also get rain, especially Jalpaiguri and Alipurduar on Thursday.

The rain may cool things briefly, but the air will probably still feel sticky.
