September 12, 2025 – Hey folks in Rampurhat, if you’ve been dodging puddles all week, hold onto your umbrellas – things are about to get a lot wetter. With the monsoon refusing to pack up, our little town in Birbhum district is staring down the barrel of heavy showers over the next few days. A fresh low-pressure area forming over the Bay of Bengal is stirring up trouble, bringing the promise of intense rain across West Bengal. Local farmers might cheer the extra water for their paddy fields, but everyone else should watch out for slippery roads and possible waterlogging in low-lying spots.
Right now, at mid-morning, the thermometer’s hovering around 31 degrees Celsius under a thick blanket of clouds. It’s muggy as ever – feels more like 38 with the humidity cranked up—and a light drizzle has already started tapping on rooftops. Winds are gentle from the east-northeast at about 10 km/h, but that could pick up as storms roll in.
Here’s the scoop on what’s coming, straight from the latest updates:
Today (Friday, Sept 12): Expect highs of 33°C and lows dipping to 27°C. Scattered thunderstorms are likely this afternoon, with a 70% chance of rain—could dump up to 8 mm in spots. Keep an eye on the sky if you’re heading to the market.
Saturday (Sept 13): A touch cooler at 32°C high and 26°C low, but don’t let that fool you. Heavy showers are on the cards, especially evening hours, pushing rain chances to 80%. That low-pressure system will be the main culprit, so plan indoor chores.
Sunday (Sept 14): Things ease a bit with a high of 34°C and low of 27°C. Mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers—50% odds—and hazy conditions lingering from all the moisture.
Monday (Sept 15): Back to 33°C/26°C, with thunderstorms popping up again (60% rain chance). Winds shift south-southeast at 10-15 km/h.
Tuesday (Sept 16): High 32°C, low 27°C. Showers taper off to 40%, but humidity stays sticky.
No major flood alerts yet, but district officials are urging drivers to slow down on NH-14 and check local drains. Schools are running as usual, but outdoor events? Probably best to reschedule. On the bright side, this rain could quench the thirst of our parched soils after a hot spell.
Stay dry out there, Rampurhat – grab that raincoat and tune into updates from the IMD. If the clouds break, we’ll all breathe a little easier. What’s your go-to rainy day plan? Drop a line in the comments.
