In Kolkata, the beginnings of a possible Puja saboteur are being sown by a storm that is barreling in the Philippines.
The Met Office provided a preliminary Puja weather update on September 26, predicting that rain is likely to fall in Kolkata from October 2 to October 5 due to a cyclonic circulation over the Bay.
An official, however, stated that it was still too early to determine the amount of rain.
Sashthi and Dashami both fall on October 1 this year.
From October 2 to October 5, Kolkata and other coastal Bengal regions are likely to get some rain. The system’s location and projected track will affect the rains’ intensity. By September 28, we ought to have a clearer picture.
The system is probably a relic of Typhoon Noru, a potent tropical cyclone that made landfall in the Philippines on September 26.
According to reports, the storm that has caused millions to lose power and flooded houses have killed at least five rescue workers.
Through Thailand and Myanmar, the system is most likely to reach the Bay of Bengal. The storm will weaken once it reaches shore.
The system is anticipated to provide rain on the important Puja days if it travels over 3,000 kilometers to the Bengal coast.
After two years marred by the Covid virus, Durga Puja is once again in full bloom.
The Met forecast will be sincerely hoped against by organizers and participants.
According to Das, the days leading up to the Puja are predicted to be mainly dry with sporadic thunderstorms.
Any weather system can intensify in late September and early October due to favorable climatological factors, such as the sea surface temperature and wind shear.
Durga Puja was comparatively dry the previous year. Rain was seen by Dashami, and it was attributed to nearby clouds. However, due to a low-pressure region over the Bay, the city was experiencing rain just after the Puja.
