This massive prediction has triggered widespread concern among residents and authorities alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The experts suggest that a unique combination of atmospheric troughs and an excessive influx of moisture from the Bay of Bengal is creating a volatile environment. These storms are expected to be intense, with wind speeds potentially clocking 80-90 kmph, accompanied by heavy rain and frequent lightning. South Bengal, including urban centers like Kolkata, is predicted to be the most affected zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agricultural sector is on high alert, as a &#8220;century of storms&#8221; could devastate seasonal crops such as mangoes, litchis, and paddy. Authorities have advised the public to exercise extreme caution, especially during late afternoons when these storms typically peak. With the frequency of lightning strikes also expected to rise, this year&#8217;s Kalbaishakhi season might turn out to be one of the most turbulent in recent history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A chilling weather forecast has emerged for West Bengal, suggesting an unprecedented frequency of storms this season.
