Since last two days, it seems like rain gods have been benevolent over Kolkata. The city witnessed intermittent showers activity during this time frame. Let’s just look at the weather duirng the past 24 hours, Dum Dum observatory in Kolkata recorded rains to the tune of 13 mm, while Alipore observatory saw 7 mm of rains.
These showers can be credited to the deep depression which was over Northwest Bay of Bengal. Now, this weather system has weakened into a low pressure area and centered over North Bay of Bengal. Further gradual weakening of the system is likely and it is most expected to continue its track eastwards.

For now, the days will be humid with maximums settling around 25°C-26°C. Nights, on the other hand will remain pleasant. Other than the capital, the weather system in Bay also affected other districts of Gangetic West Bengal such as Canning 7 mm, Malda 6 mm and Digha 5 mm.
After the span of 12 hours, a few patches of clouds would be seen and dry weather will commence to set in over the state capital.
As of December 9, the city has recorded 11.8 mm of rains as against its monthly average rainfall figure of 3.2 mm. So this is pretty much apparent that in wake of the active weather system in Bay, Kolkata has surpassed its average rainfall mean of the month.
