Heavy rain in North Bengal: 2 killed by lightning in Kolkata

A break from the heat wave is anticipated in West Bengal's sub-Himalayan areas due to the possibility of further Southwest Monsoon progress. On Friday, officials released this information. However, residents of the state's southern regions will likely continue to experience extreme heat until June 13, according to officials. On Friday afternoon, though, rainfall provided some relief from the heat in Kolkata and the surrounding areas.

After being struck by lightning during the rains, two individuals died in Kolkata, and another person was hurt. Palani Mandal, 35, of Tardaha in South 24 Parganas, and Kajol Naskar, 45, both of Sonarpur, have been named as the deceased, according to officials.

Pre-monsoon showers have been predicted by the weather office for the state's sub-Himalayan areas. Within two days, the Southwest Monsoon is quite likely to move into all of the Northeastern states, as well as West Bengal and Sikkim. According to him, strong to very heavy rains are possible in Manipur, Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Mizoram over the course of the next three days, as well as in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh over the course of the following five days, due to the entrance of the monsoon in the northeastern states.

It is anticipated that West Bengal's sub-Himalayan districts of Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Jalpaiguri, Coochbehar, Alipurduar, and Sikkim would have heavy to very heavy rainfall through June 10 and then very heavy rain until June 13. On Friday, rain fell in these areas in spots. In addition to this, several locations experienced heavy rain. The weather service predicted that scorching conditions would last until June 13 in several areas of Gangetic West Bengal.
