Kolkata Rains: Expect More Downpours
5 Aug
Summary
- Kolkata experienced a significant drop in rainfall from 89 mm to 3.8 mm.
- Enhanced monsoon activity is predicted for South Bengal starting Thursday.
- August rainfall is expected to be normal across Bengal.
Kolkata experienced a dramatic reduction in rainfall on Tuesday, receiving only 3.8 mm compared to the 89 mm recorded on Monday. While light to moderate showers are expected on Wednesday, the Regional Meteorological Centre forecasts a significant increase in monsoon activity for Kolkata and the wider South Bengal region starting Thursday. This intensified rainfall is attributed to the monsoon trough's projected shift over South Bengal. Officials anticipate an intense rain spell for Kolkata between Thursday and Friday. The Met office also expects normal rainfall across Bengal throughout August, despite a slight deficit in Kolkata during July, as June had seen surplus rainfall. This reactivation of the monsoon flow suggests a return to typical weather patterns for the remainder of the season.
