The West Bengal Meteorological Department has issued an alert warning of rain and a significant drop in temperatures across the state following the Kali Puja celebrations.
The West Bengal Meteorological Department issued a weather alert ahead of the post‑Kali Puja period, indicating that rain showers are expected across the state. The forecast predicts that the monsoon trough will move into the region, bringing moderate to heavy precipitation in the evenings of the next two days.
Along with the rain, temperatures are projected to fall sharply, with daytime highs expected to dip by up to 5‑7°C compared to the previous week. Nighttime lows could reach the low teens in many districts, prompting health officials to advise vulnerable groups to take precautions.
Authorities have urged residents to stay updated through official channels, avoid unnecessary travel during heavy downpours, and secure outdoor items that could be damaged by strong winds. The alert remains in effect until the weather stabilises later in the week.
