Correct Answer: Kalbaisakhi


Solution : The correct option is Kalbaisakhi.

In West Bengal, localized thunderstorms are colloquially known as Kalbaisakhi or Nor'westers. These storms typically occur in the pre-monsoon season, bringing relief from the scorching heat. Characterized by strong winds, lightning, and brief heavy rainfall, Kalbaisakhi plays a vital role in the region's climate dynamics.
