The anticipated heavy rainfall poses a significant risk of waterlogging in Kolkata, especially in areas with inadequate drainage systems. This could disrupt road traffic, public transport, and access to essential services. Vulnerable structures and low-lying neighbourhoods are particularly at risk. The interconnected urban economy of Kolkata and its surrounding districts, including Howrah and South 24 Parganas, may face disruptions in commercial activities and daily life due to the expected rainfall.
