Kolkata Braces for Prolonged Wet Spell, Heavy Rain Alert Issued for Saturday

Meteorological forecasts indicate that Kolkata will remain under cloud cover with intermittent to heavy showers from Monday through Sunday. The persistent moisture is expected to keep the city wet for the entire week.

The warning for Saturday highlights the possibility of intense rainfall that could lead to waterlogging in low-lying areas and disrupt local transport.

Authorities have advised residents to limit outdoor activities and take necessary precautions to avoid water‑related inconveniences, especially during peak rain periods.

The wet spell is linked to a lingering low‑pressure area over the Bay of Bengal that continues to feed moist air over the Gangetic plains, sustaining the rainy conditions.
