The tale of rainy spells does not seem to end here for Kolkata and parts of West Bengal. Monsoon rains ranging from light to moderate intensity have been lashing parts of the state and its capital city.

The last 24 hours also brought in some rains for West Bengal including Kolkata. However, apart from the state capital, no major stations have recorded good rains. In fact, rains have begun in Kolkata and at present, the city of joy is witnessing cloudy weather and a rainy afternoon.

In the last 24 hours from 08:30 am on Tuesday, Kolkata recorded good showers of 44.3 mm. While Coochbehar and Malda have managed to observe some light spells of 3.2 mm and 1.3 mm respectively.

As per Skymet Weather, the axis of Monsoon trough is passing through Digha which is a district in Gangetic West Bengal. In the wake of this, one or two good spells of rain are expected to continue lashing Kolkata and adjoining parts of Gangetic West Bengal for the next 48 hours. However, these rains will not be in continuity and will be of a short duration.

Skymet Weather further reiterates that after 48 hours, a cyclonic circulation is expected to develop over Jharkhand and adjoining Chhattisgarh. Moreover, the eastern end of the axis of Monsoon trough is also expected to shift towards the south. On account of this, the intensity of rains over Kolkata and adjoining regions of West Bengal may reduce.

However, isolated rains in pockets are still anticipated to continue occasionally. Pleasant weather is expected for the city but overall humid weather will prevail.
