T On the opening day of the week, the first rainstorm of the month took many people off guard. Almost all of Sunday night and various times throughout the day were cloudy with rain. Monday evening at about 8:30 pm, a new spell began.

In Met parlance, 60mm of rain in 24 hours qualifies as heavy.

The depression that triggered the showers weakened into a “well-marked low-pressure area” and was stationed over Madhya Pradesh on Monday morning, said a Met bulletin.

“The monsoon trough is passing through Odisha. But a secondary trough extends from the low-pressure area in Madhya Pradesh to the Bay. Jharkhand and Gangetic Bengal are under the trough,” he said.

According to weather office sources, there is a possibility of heavy rain in Howrah, Hooghly, Paschim Medinipur, Dui Burdwan, Murshidabad. Wind speed may be high in coastal areas. Fishermen have been banned from going to sea till Wednesday.
