Kolkata’s Durga Puja celebrations may face weather disruptions this week as a low-pressure area develops in the Bay of Bengal.

According to forecasts, rain and thundershowers are expected across the city and suburbs, including Howrah, Dum Dum, Salt Lake, and Newtown, between October 1 and October 3, 2025.

The system is likely to intensify, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall at times. While the festive spirit remains high, residents and pandal-hoppers are advised to carry umbrellas and plan travel with caution. Traffic congestion and waterlogging could add to difficulties.

The weather department is closely monitoring the system, with alerts in place for potential downpours during key Durga Puja days. Stay updated for real-time advisories.
