New Delhi, Puja Preparations in Kolkata, are expected to get a boost as the rain is likely to get subdued during the next two to three days. The city has received more than 30 mm of rain during the last 24 hours. The rain with decreasing intensity is expected to continue over the city during the next 24 to 48 hours.
Rain is expected to be subdued as the depression over the west Bay of Bengal, the reason for the present showers, has weakened and moved away in a northeast direction. This also indicates that the southwest monsoon is likely to bid adieu to the City of Joy during this period after which the easterly northeasterly winds are expected to set in over the city.
However, during the next two days, the morning and the afternoon would start giving some respite to the city dwellers who were itching to go for that shopping spree. Due to less rain the humidity would also decrease. It would also provide some relief to Puja Pandal creators who were incurring losses due to rain. But the evening may not be a suitable time for going out during the next 48 hours as a few spells of showers are expected then.
