Heavy rain expected in West Bengal from October 2-4: IMD

India Sep 29, 2025

Heads up, West Bengal: the IMD says to expect heavy to very heavy rain across most of the state from October 2-4, thanks to a low-pressure system brewing over the Bay of Bengal.
Winds could get pretty gusty too—up to 55km/h—so it's best to stay alert.

Fishermen advised to avoid rough seas

This isn't just a passing shower.
The IMD has told fishermen to avoid the rough seas along the West Bengal-Odisha coast during the period of rough seas as advised by the IMD.
Meanwhile, the state government is stepping up emergency measures—there's even a control room running non-stop during festival season after recent torrential rain and electrocution incidents claimed lives in Kolkata and nearby areas.
Stay safe and keep an eye on updates if you're out and about!
