• Met: Light rain likely in run-up to Kali Puja

  • Kolkata: The city may receive intermittent rain and remain cloudy in the run-up to Kali Puja on Oct 31. A high-pressure zone above Bay of Bengal is supplying moisture that could bring short, light spells in some pockets of Kolkata and parts of south Bengal, RMC said.

    “We expect light rain sporadically over the next two days. But it will not be heavy or consistent. The moisture incursion has led to cloud formation in the region,” said RMC weather scientist Sourish Banerjee.

    While some pockets of Kolkata received light rain on Monday, RMC recorded traces. On Sunday, too, the city received a light drizzle, two days after Cyclone Dana-triggered showers had left streets submerged across Kolkata.

    The city recorded a maximum temperature of 31.5°C and a minimum of 25.4°C on Monday.
