Met office predict scattered rains during pujas

Kolkata, Sep 27 (UNI) A day ahead of Durga Puja, the Met office cast a dampener predicting scattered rains during the festivities.

Met department said the there might be scattered rains in some isolated parts of the state due to a weak cyclonic circulation marked at North East Bay adjoining Central Bay of Bengal.

However, the day began on a sunny note for Kolkata but later became cloudy.

The puja organisers utilised the opportunity to deck up the pandals and bringing the idols from Kumartuli. Preparations were hampered last week following torrential rains which submerged various parts of the city and created flood-like situation in some districts.

Today's maximum temperature was recorded at 32 degree Celsius while the minimum was 27 degree Celsius.

The maximum relative humidity was 97 per cent.
