Abstract

This paper investigates the frequency of severe weather phenomena such as thunderstorm, hailstorm, thundersquall and cyclonic disturbances for some selected stations of Gangetic West Bengal for the prediction of all these devastating phenomena with the aid of Doppler weather radar products along with the critical consideration of their meteorological association. Attempts have been made to conclude some common features of the nor’westers in Gangetic West Bengal during pre-monsoon season. From the analysis, it may be stated that Doppler weather radar products of Regional Meteorological Centre Kolkata are the supreme means for the nowcasting of all severe weather phenomena in the range of 250 km around Kolkata, i.e. Gangetic West Bengal and its surroundings.
