Kolkata: The Met department has predicted sporadic and localised rain between Oct 15 and Oct 17 during Durga puja due to the influence of easterly winds.
But we can expect scattered or sporadic rain in the city between Oct 15 and Oct 17,” said HR Biswas, the head at Regional Meteorological Centre Kolkata. The Met office will be issuing another special bulletin on Oct 14.
RMC Kolkata officials said this system is likely to move towards North Tamil Nadu and Andhra coast and emerge into a low pressure area. “While this system is unlikely to impact us directly, the easterly winds injecting moisture into the coastal belt is the reason behind the scattered rain prediction in parts of Bengal,” said HR Biswas, the head at Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) Kolkata. “We can expect dry days from Oct 20 (Nabami),” added Biswas. The Met officials, however, said they were keeping a close tab on this system.
“We do not expect any heavy downpour to wash away the festive mirth. He also added that the rain wouldn’t play the spoilsport as the shower spells were likely to be short. However, intense rainfall could be experienced in some pockets. The monsoon is also likely to withdraw from Bengal within the next three days.
