Kolkata’s Kali Puja Expected to Stay Dry as Rain Forecast Targets Bhai Fonta

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released its latest weather bulletin for Kolkata, confirming that the city will experience dry conditions during the upcoming Kali Puja festivities. The forecast covers the main celebration days, ensuring that public processions and puja rituals can proceed without rain disruption.

However, the same bulletin highlighted a contrasting outlook for the Bhai Fonta locality, where scattered showers are expected. Residents and event organizers in that area have been advised to stay prepared for brief rain episodes and to take necessary precautions.

Authorities have urged citizens to monitor real‑time updates via official channels and to follow any safety advisories issued for the affected neighbourhood. The clear weather across most of Kolkata is expected to facilitate large gatherings and cultural programs associated with the festival.

The IMD will continue to update its forecasts as the situation evolves, and the department remains on standby to issue further warnings if weather patterns change.
