According to forecasts, districts like Kolkata, Howrah, Hooghly, North and South 24 Parganas, and East Midnapore often experience scattered rain during the days leading up to Durga Puja. Light to moderate showers and occasional thunderstorms are common, especially due to low-pressure systems forming in the Bay of Bengal. However, the main Puja days are typically dry, as per predictions by the India Meteorological Department.
