In a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Sunday, Asansol recorded rains to the tune of 49 mm, Jharsuguda 42 mm, Jalpaiguri 40 mm, Titlagarh 38 mm, Cuttack 32 mm, Cooch Behar 24 mm, Keonjhargarh 22 mm and Burdwan 20 mm.
As of now, the axis of Monsoon trough is running close to the foothills of Himalayas. Hence, we can expect rains to increase over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, whereas scattered showers may continue over remaining parts of West Bengal including the city of Joy, Kolkata.
In the interim, Odisha would witness minimal drop in the rain intensity, however the northern and coastal districts of the state may still observe few light to moderate showers such as Bhubaneswar, Puri, Keonjhargarh and Baripada.
For now, day temperatures are expected to remain in mid 30s over both, Odisha and west Bengal.
After the span of 24 hours, the rain intensity will lessen over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal. Nevertheless, the rains will again pick up pace in the state of Odisha from July 5 onward. This would be due to the cyclonic circulation that is currently over north coastal Andhra Pradesh, which is most expected to move inland therefore leading to intensification of rainfall over the southern districts of Odisha such as Koraput, Malkangiri and Gajapati.
