Weather Agencies Issue Severe Warnings Across Multiple Regions for Heavy Rain and Coastal Flooding
Anonymous
Weather agencies have issued alerts for several regions facing heavy rain, strong winds, flooding or hazardous waves. In North Bengal, India, a yellow warning covers parts of the north, with heavy rain and gusty winds expected, while rain is forecast to ease in southern West Bengal. A nor’easter is expected to bring 3–5 inches of rain and coastal flooding to parts of Massachusetts through Sunday, with erosion and road hazards also possible. On the Isle of Man, strong winds and high spring tides could send waves over exposed roads Sunday. In Ireland, a Sunday morning yellow rain warning covers Cork, Kerry, Waterford and Wexford; heavy rain could cause localized flooding and difficult travel, while coastal overtopping is possible in Wexford.
