Solution
The majority of the state’s rainfall, approximately 90%, is sourced from the Bay of Bengal branch of the South-West monsoon. By around 10-15 June, the South-West monsoon engulfs the entire region of West Bengal, leading to heavy precipitation across all parts of the state until September. This seasonal phenomenon brings widespread rainfall, replenishing water resources and contributing to the ecological balance of the region.
