Parts of West Bengal are likely to experience thunderstorms and widespread rain over the next few days, the weather office said. Dry westerly to north-westerly winds are set to keep several south Bengal districts uncomfortable on Saturday. But from April 5, moisture from the Bay of Bengal and a trough across the region are expected to trigger thunderstorm activity. Rain and thunderstorms are expected to spread across south Bengal from April 5, becoming more widespread by April 7 and April 8. North Bengal is also likely to see increased activity from April 5, with widespread rain, thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in some districts between April 7 and April 9.
