A low‑pressure area moving across West Bengal has triggered moderate rainfall in the southern districts surrounding Kolkata, according to the latest weather update.
The Meteorological Department reported that a low‑pressure system settled over the southern part of the Kolkata metropolitan region early on Tuesday. The system is responsible for scattered showers and intermittent drizzle across districts such as South 24 Parganas, Howrah and Hooghly.
Rainfall intensity is expected to remain light to moderate through the evening, with no immediate risk of flooding reported. Authorities have issued standard advisories, urging residents to carry umbrellas and avoid unnecessary travel on water‑logged roads.
The weather pattern is typical for the pre‑monsoon transition period, and forecasters anticipate a gradual clearing by the next day as the low‑pressure area moves eastward toward the Bay of Bengal.
