When and where does Kal Baisakhi occur

Answer: Kal Baisakhi or nor‘westers are storms that lash the Gangetic plains of India. A thunderstorm accompanied by high winds and heavy rain is a common cause of these isolated incidents.

Kal Baisakhi’s Historical Background.

As it advances eastward, Kal Baisakhi reaches West Bengal and Odisha, having originated over Bihar and Jharkhand. This includes the entire state of Chhattisgarh, which is highly serious. The Chota Nagpur Plateau, particularly Ranchi and Jamshedpur, is where Kal Baisakhi had its start. These extremely damaging thunderstorms develop when moist air infiltrates these high altitudes, accompanied by high temperatures. 

Kal Baisakhi Happened as:

1. The festivals of Kal Baisakhi take place in the nations of India and Bangladesh. It has the force of a storm and is blowing quite hard.
2. If the clouds take in just enough water and convective currents, it has the potential to develop into a tornado that poses a risk to human life.
3. These storms typically occur shortly about sunset or just a few hrs after it, when thick heavy black clouds start emerging over the South Western sky. These clouds then bring gale-force winds along with torrential rain and hail, although it only lasts for a short period.
4. The Kal Baisakhi monsoon develops itself across the region of North-East India beginning in March and continuing until the middle of July or August (during the monsoon season).
5. Severe thunderstorms strike during this time of year in the states of Odisha, West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand, as well as Bangladesh and the North-Eastern states of India.
6. They are known as Kal Baisakhi or the misfortune of Baisakhi and are responsible for significant damage to life and property. This natural disaster takes place in India between March and May.

As a result, the month of March through May is when the festival of Kal Baisakhi is celebrated throughout North and North-East India.

Note

At least 24 people were killed and hundreds more were injured as a result of a devastating Kal Baisakhi that struck Dhaka and the northwestern area of Bangladesh on the evening of April 4, 2015. According to the authorities in charge of monitoring the weather, this was the first significant storm of the typical spring storm season.
