PTI, KOLKATA, OCT 28, 2025 : Severe cyclonic storm Montha will bring heavy rainfall to several districts of West Bengal until October 31, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday.

Montha, which is currently situated over the west-central Bay of Bengal and is moving in a north-northwestward direction, is likely to make landfall near Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday night, the IMD said in a special bulletin.

One or two places in the sub-Himalayan districts of Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar, and Cooch Behar are likely to experience very heavy rainfall (7 to 20 cm) on Friday, according to the IMD.

The severe cyclonic storm, which is expected to weaken gradually after landfall into a well-marked low-pressure system by Thursday, will bring heavy rainfall (7 to 12 cm) in all districts of north Bengal on Thursday and Friday, including Malda, Uttar Dinajpur, and Dakshin Dinajpur, the IMD stated.
