The Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority has issued a yellow weather alert after a low-pressure system over the Andaman Sea threatens heavy rainfall and flooding in the city.
The Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA) has issued a yellow weather alert for the city as a low‑pressure system develops over the Andaman Sea.
The system is expected to bring sustained rainfall and strong winds, increasing the risk of flooding in low‑lying areas of Kolkata.
Meteorologists warn that the combination of the low‑pressure area and the city’s monsoon season could lead to waterlogging, especially in neighbourhoods such as Salt Lake and New Town.
Residents are advised to stay indoors during heavy showers, keep emergency supplies ready, and monitor local weather updates for any changes in the alert status.
