Meteorologists are tracking a cyclonic circulation that is expected to develop over the Bay around July 14–15. If favourable atmospheric conditions persist, the circulation could intensify into a low-pressure system over the northwest Bay of Bengal and the adjoining Odisha-West Bengal coast, leading to enhanced rainfall across the state.
Weather experts expect rainfall activity to intensify from July 13 onward, with several districts likely to receive moderate to heavy showers. The evolving system could influence weather conditions during the Rath Yatra celebrations, prompting authorities to closely monitor its progress.
