Rain Alerts, Monsoon Tips & How to Stay Safe
Monsoon season in Kolkata runs from June to September. Heavy rain can bring flooding in low‑lying areas like the Hooghly banks and parts of Salt Lake. When the IMD issues a yellow or orange alert, the best move is to keep an eye on local news, avoid stagnant water, and carry an umbrella.
Here are three quick tips for rainy days:
- Check the water level of the Hooghly River if you live near the riverfront. Levels above 209m often mean waterlogging.
- Plan extra travel time. Traffic can slow down a lot after a sudden downpour.
- Keep a waterproof bag for your phone and documents. A simple zip‑lock can save you from a ruined gadget.
If you’re heading to the airport, know that flights can get delayed during heavy showers. Keep an eye on the IGI Airport status page or the airline’s app for real‑time updates.
For longer‑term planning, look at the weekly outlook. A typical week in August might swing from 30‑35°C with 70‑90% humidity, and you’ll see 70‑120 mm of rain spread over a few days. Knowing this helps you decide when to schedule outdoor events or when to stay indoors.
