For the upcoming few days, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted snowfall and rain in some regions of India.

All around the nation, preparations for Kali Puja, Dhanteras, and Diwali are in full swing. But in many areas of the country, the weather pattern appears to be swiftly changing. On Dhanteras, Diwali, and Kali Puja days, various areas of the country may see light to severe rainfall. Additionally, a strong wind is conceivably present at this moment.
 
On October 24, the day of Diwali, the low pressure region that is building over the southeast and east-central Bay of Bengal may intensify into a deep depression, and it may linger over the West Bengal-Bangladesh coast through October 25. As a result, rain and severe winds are possible in a number of states starting on Sunday, including Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, West Bengal, Odisha, and Jharkhand.

The state of Odisha has taken many preventative measures to deal with the scenario, including cancelling the holidays for state personnel from October 23 to 25 in light of the probability of a cyclonic storm. The district administration of the coastal areas has been urged to maintain its vigilance by the state.
