West Bengal experienced heavy rainfall in late June 2025 due to an active low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal. Several districts, including South 24 Parganas, Hooghly, and Darjeeling, witnessed continuous downpours, causing waterlogging in low-lying areas and disrupting daily life. Coastal and sub-Himalayan regions reported strong winds and localized flooding. Authorities issued alerts for fishermen and advised caution in vulnerable zones. The heavy rain also affected transport and power supply in some regions. This marked a significant onset of the monsoon season, with more showers expected in the coming days.
