Heavy Rain May in Kolkata on Oct 1-2

Kolkata’s Durga Puja celebrations may face weather disruptions as a strong system over the Bay of Bengal is expected to bring heavy rain and stormy conditions on October 1 and 2.

The city and adjoining districts could see intense downpours, raising concerns of waterlogging and traffic chaos during festive events.

Meteorologists warn of flooding risk in low-lying areas if rain persists.

Puja pandals and outdoor gatherings may be affected. Coastal winds are likely to strengthen, adding to the discomfort.

While festive spirit remains high, people are advised to keep rain gear handy and stay updated on weather alerts for safe celebrations.
