India vs Brazil: Will Rain Spoil Historic Kolkata Football Clash? Check Salt Lake Stadium Weather Forecast

Football fans in Kolkata are gearing up for a historic night as India host five-time world champions Brazil at the Salt Lake Stadium.

The international friendly kicks off at 7:30 PM, but talk of bad weather and an incoming cyclone in Bengal has left supporters worried.

Here is the confirmed weather update for tonight and what fans can expect at the ground.

Is There A Cyclone Alert In West Bengal For India vs Brazil Match?

Social media has been buzzing with rumours claiming that a cyclone is heading towards the Bengal coast today.

The weather department has dismissed these claims, confirming that there is no cyclone warning for Kolkata or South Bengal today.

While a low-pressure system might develop in the Bay of Bengal later this month, there is zero storm danger for tonight’s game.

Fans travelling to the stadium should expect typical warm and humid Kolkata conditions throughout the evening.

Temperatures around the 7:30 PM kickoff will stay near 30 degrees Celsius, with humidity levels sitting around 65%.

The sky will remain partly cloudy, but the chance of rain during match hours is under 20%.

At worst, fans might see a brief passing drizzle that will not disrupt play or cause any stoppages.

Even if an unexpected shower hits eastern Kolkata, the pitch at the Salt Lake Stadium is completely ready.

The ground features an advanced underground drainage system built directly beneath the green turf.

Any excess water clears off the surface within 15 to 20 minutes, ensuring the outfield stays fast, firm, and safe.

Supporters can stop stressing about a match cancellation or rain delay.

Ground staff and match officials have completed their checks and given a full green light for the clash.

Over 65,000 fans are set to enjoy a complete 90 minutes of football history under the floodlights.
