Detailed Solution

Kal Baisakhi is common in West Bengal.
The pre-monsoon showers are light showers helping in the ripening of mangoes or blossoming coffee plants. However, these showers sometimes turn to torrential rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning. It leads to the destruction of agriculture, life, and property. Such destructive effects of pre-monsoon showers are common in West Bengal, where they are known as Kal Baisakhi. The name shows the violent and destructive nature of the rain. These thunderstorms have the Chota Nagpur plateau as the origin and can be expected during April-May. But they are unpredictable and sometimes arrive in March. Though destructive, these downpours are helpful in the cultivation of paddy, vegetables, and jute.
