With Durga Puja less than two weeks away, Kolkatans are likely to be affected by any rain, whether it falls during the week or on the weekend.

“A low-pressure area is likely to form over the northwest Bay of Bengal on Sunday. It is likely to intensify into a well-marked low pressure by Tuesday,” said G.K. Das, director, India Meteorological Department, Kolkata.

“There is a low-pressure area over Uttar Pradesh. The monsoon trough passes over Patna and Digha into the Bay of Bengal,” said Das.

“As a result of these two, there is significant moisture in the atmosphere. As the sun came out, the heating and the moisture combined to form thunderclouds, which led to the rain.”

Areas in North 24-Parganas, Howrah and Hooghly districts also got rain on Friday. Similar showers have not been ruled out over the next couple of days.
