Kolkata weather: Rain with high humidity; AQI remains moderate
Times of India | 2 October 2025The day's weather forecast indicates a 94% chance of precipitation, making rain almost certain. The dense cloud cover and persistent showers are expected to dominate the weather pattern throughout the day.
The combination of rain and high humidity creates challenging outdoor conditions. The moderate winds might provide some relief from the muggy atmosphere, though residents are advised to carry umbrellas and appropriate rain gear.
Yesterday's air quality measurements showed PM2.5 levels at 25 µg/m³ and PM10 at 50 µg/m³, with carbon monoxide reaching 426 µg/m³. These moderate levels may cause slight breathing discomfort for sensitive individuals.
The current air quality shows improvement compared to earlier in the week. The ongoing rainfall may contribute to further reduction in pollution levels in the coming days.
The weekly forecast predicts continued wet weather starting October 3, maintaining similar temperature ranges.
October 5 and 6 will likely experience heavier rainfall with stronger winds up to 25 km/h.
Weekend temperatures are expected to drop to around 24°C during nighttime, with persistent showers continuing through October 7 and 8. October 6 might offer slightly better conditions with reduced rainfall.
