KOLKATA/SOUTH 24 PARGANAS: The Met office has predicted heavy showers in Kolkata on August 10 and 11 under the impact of a low-pressure triggered by a cyclonic circulation over northwest Bay of Bengal. The rain may be accompanied by surface wind at a speed of 40-50 km/hr at one or two places. On one of the two days, Kolkata may receive 70-110 mm rain.
The South 24 Parganas district administration has sounded an alert for the villagers of Mousuni, Ghoramara, Sagar, Patharpratima, and Gosaba in Sunderbans, warning them of a flood situation due to high tide and heavy rain, which are predicted over the next few days.
