A deep depression has formed off the north Odisha-West Bengal coast, and it will bring ‘extremely’ heavy rainfall (over 200 mm in 24 hours) over many parts of Odisha on Monday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned.
The Met office has forecast that heavy rain is also expected to affect West Bengal on Monday and Tuesday, with overall wet conditions likely to continue till July 30 over the Gangetic West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, and Chhattisgarh along with the eastern and western regions of both Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
