Deep Depression to Hit Coast Near Puri on Wednesday, Heavy Rain Warning for South Bengal

A weather system over the Bay of Bengal has intensified into a deep depression and is continuing to move towards the eastern coast of India, according to weather reports.

The system is expected to make landfall on Wednesday, with reports noting its remaining distance from the coastal city of Puri. As it approaches, its strength is expected to increase further.

Because of the deep depression, a heavy rain warning has been issued for six districts in South Bengal, including the city of Kolkata. Authorities have warned that the affected districts could face significant rainfall over the coming days.

Weather officials have said that the heavy rain linked to the system is likely to continue for four consecutive days across South Bengal. The Bay of Bengal, a common origin point for such systems, is being closely watched as the depression develops.

Reports also suggest that the storm could bring strong winds and disruptive conditions once it reaches land, raising concerns about possible damage in the region. Local authorities are reportedly on alert and monitoring the situation as the system moves closer to shore.

Meteorologists say the exact impact of the deep depression will depend on how much it strengthens before landfall. Coastal areas near Puri, along with the six districts under the rain warning, are expected to be the most affected.

Residents in South Bengal have been advised to remain cautious during this period, as the weather situation could change rapidly. Authorities are expected to issue further updates as the depression continues its approach toward the coast.
