Calcutta and adjoining areas have been kept out of the heavy warning radar but are expected to receive light to moderate showers. A trough of low-pressure extending from Uttar Pradesh to north-eastern Bay of Bengal threatens to bring heavy rain in most parts of Bengal, the Met office said in a bulletin issued on Saturday. For Calcutta, rain has been the real demon every Durga Puja in recent years except in 2018 and 2015. Satellite images on Saturday showed a high possibility of heavy rain in the northern districts of Bengal in the coming 48 hours. East and West Burdwan, Hooghly, Nadia and North 24 Parganas were also likely to get heavy rain, according to weather scientists.
