A new depression has formed off Thailand and southern Myanmar, which will reach the North Andaman Sea, move north and northwest, and potentially reach the coasts of Bangladesh and Myanmar by late September.
Chances of rain will decrease significantly from Sunday, with a partly cloudy sky and fewer thunderstorms expected over the next four to five days, though high atmospheric moisture may increase humidity-related discomfort.
Scattered heavy rain is expected only in the hilly areas of Darjeeling under a yellow alert, while the rest of North Bengal will see light to moderate rain with thunderstorms before chances of rain decrease from Monday.
