Supercell spotted over India West Bengal
-
On 9 march 2026 a typical nor’westers or kalBaisakhi storm observed some supercell characteristic in the reflectivity but we couldn't get any velocity that because radar too far away and velocity scan noisy
What are nor’westers or kalBaisakhi these are Pre monsoon afternoon thunderstorm that form because of low pressure over Bihar
And moisture and instability from the Bay of Bengal
These are typically single cell but sometimes forms is called squal lines and really in a year around 30 to 40 storms in the regions are supercell
The first image is when the storm was developing
At the second images when it was in it peak
You can see the hook echo bwer and other and other things
