Monsoon on Sunday reached Gangetic West Bengal nine days after its normal arrival date of June 8. This has reduced fears of a drought in the southern districts of the state that have been hit by severe heatwave conditions over the past few weeks.
Regional Met office sources said in Kolkata that the monsoon currents are, however, not very strong and it will take some more time for the intensity of the rainfall to rise. The Met office said in its forecast that rain or thundershower would occur at many places in Gangetic West Bengal.
While three districts of Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri and Coochbehar in North Bengal were experiencing heavy rainfall for the last several days, severe heatwave conditions in southern and western districts of the state, have claimed the lives of over 60 people in the last couple of weeks. The highest number of people died in Asansol in Burdwan district, owing to severe heat
conditions.
