**Headline: Relentless Low Pressure Systems Threaten Durga Puja Celebrations in Bengal**
**Kolkata, September 28, 2024:** Durga Puja festivities in West Bengal face disruption as a series of low-pressure systems are forecast to bring heavy rainfall across the state, according to the Alipore Meteorological Department.
A deep depression is predicted to make landfall over the south Odisha and Andhra Pradesh coast on Saturday, followed by the formation of a cyclonic circulation over the Andaman Sea around September 30. This is expected to intensify into a low-pressure area over the central and north Bay of Bengal by October 1, coinciding with Navami.
“We anticipate rainfall from Navami night through Dashami in Kolkata and several other districts of Bengal,” stated a Met official.
While scattered heavy rainfall is expected across South Bengal on Saturday (Panchami), including South 24 Parganas, Purba and Paschim Medinipur, Bankura, and Jhargram, Kolkata will experience moderate rainfall with a partly clear sky in the morning turning cloudier later. Thunderstorms are also expected. Intermittent rain is predicted on Sunday as well.
The weather office has issued a heavy rainfall warning for Kolkata, Nadia, North and South 24 Parganas, Purba and Paschim Medinipur, Howrah, Hooghly, and Jhargram districts from Navami onwards.
North Bengal is also bracing for wet weather. Heavy rainfall is predicted for Jalpaiguri, Cooch Behar, and Alipurduar on Saturday. Thunderstorms are expected to continue in the hill districts until Sunday. Malda and Dinajpur are likely to experience thunderstorms on Monday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has indicated that rainfall intensity will increase in North Bengal from Navami night through Dashami.
Residents are advised to stay updated on the weather forecast and take necessary precautions during the Puja days.
