Kolkata Heatwave Peaks, Thunderstorms Loom

Kolkata's mercury soared to a season-high of 36.1°C on Saturday, offering no respite from the intense heat, with the 'real feel' temperature reaching a blistering 43.8°C. The Regional Meteorological Centre forecasts a change, predicting cloudy skies and a potential drop in temperature beginning Sunday. This shift is attributed to localized conditions, including heating and moisture incursion, common during summer months.

Conditions are expected to become favorable for significant thunderstorm activity between Tuesday and Thursday. A trough and cyclonic circulation forming near Bengal, along with the indirect impact of a western disturbance, will increase the likelihood of these storms across Kolkata and South Bengal. The minimum temperature also rose to 27.6°C on Saturday, with heat and moisture contributing to the humid conditions across much of South Bengal.
