There has been a detection of an upper air cyclonic circulation over the west-central Bay of Bengal and the adjacent southwest Bay of Bengal. This circulation was found to extend up to mid-tropospheric levels on Saturday. Monday is when the system is most likely to materialise, according to HR Biswas, an RMC meteorologist.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted that light to moderate rain will likely start to fall on Monday in Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, and that it may turn into heavy rain on Wednesday. On Monday evening, Kolkata may see light to moderate rain along with thunderstorms.
A TOI report states that an upper air cyclonic circulation that reaches up to mid-tropospheric levels was observed over the west-central Bay of Bengal on Saturday and the neighbouring southwest Bay of Bengal. Monday is when the system is most likely to materialise, according to HR Biswas, an RMC meteorologist.
“Heavy rain is predicted for coastal Bengal on Wednesday. Given the uncertainty around the precise location and trajectory of the system’s formation, the effects on Kolkata and south Bengal remain unclear. By Monday, it will be evident,” Biswas continued, as reported by TOI.
Meanwhile, IMD predicts that the city will likely have rainy conditions for the whole of the upcoming week, with rain predicted to fall in some areas on every day. The forecast indicates that there will be brief periods of rain from Thursday through Saturday.
The temperature on Monday will hover between 35 degrees Celsius to 28 degrees Celsius.
