More rain likely today, Met eye on ‘Tej’ formation

The Alipore Met office in Kolkata expects a break from rain for the next week, following showers on Sunday. However, a cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bengal on Friday could lead to moderate to intense rainfall by the following weekend. International weather agencies have predicted the possible approach of a cyclonic storm named ‘Tej’ making landfall on the east coast in early October. Local weathermen are monitoring the situation, with a cyclonic circulation expected to form on September 29. North Bengal is also expected to see shorter and less frequent rain spells during the week.
