Kolkata Weather Update: Early Monsoon Brings Relief Amidst Heatwave Concerns

Kolkata is now going through major weather changes because a low-pressure area has formed in the northwest Bay of Bengal. As a result, early monsoon showers have helped to cool the city, offering needed relief from the heat we’ve endured these past weeks.

The Weather at the Moment

Temperatures: daytime highs at 88°F (31°C), evenings at 78°F (26°C)

Weather this afternoon is mostly cloudy, with showers expected in the afternoon.

A very humid climate which makes everything feel very moist.

It will be light to moderate showers this week.

According to India Meteorological Department (IMD) sources, there is now a low-pressure area and a cyclonic circulation up to 7.6 km. As the system moves, it is expected to bring heavy rain to parts of South Bengal.
