Kolkata, Oct 25
Districts of south Bengal including Kolkata will receive heavy rain from Tuesday due to a low pressure area in the Bay of Bengal which is likely to develop into a cyclone, said the Met office on Saturday.
According to the Met department, a low pressure area has formed in the southeast Bay of Bengal. It is gradually moving west and north westwards. On Sunday, it will gain strength and turn into a deep depression. Moreover, there is a possibility of that system developing into a cyclone.
As a result, heavy rain has been forecast in south Bengal districts and Kolkata from Tuesday onwards.
According to a special bulletin issued by Regional Meteorological Centre in Kolkata's Alipore, a cyclone may form in the southwest and adjacent west-central Bay of Bengal on Monday morning.
