In fact, intense lightning and thunderclouds can be seen hovering over Kolkata at present also. Rain and thundershowers are likely to begin anytime soon.
According to Skymet Weather, a fresh cyclonic circulation has developed over North Bay of Bengal, which has infused a fresh Monsoon surge over the region. This system has also pulled down the trough that has been running across the foothills of Himalayas and is now presently running through Gangetic West Bengal.

With this, weathermen are predicting moderate to heavy rains and thundershowers during the next 24 hours. Moreover, active to vigorous Monsoon conditions are likely to prevail over West Bengal including Kolkata for the next 2-3 days.
In wake of this, comfortable weather conditions are likely to persist during the day but evenings and mornings will be pleasant.
Till now, the city has recorded 134.8 mm of rain but it still far away from its monthly average rainfall of 300.6 mm of rain. However, with these fresh showers in offing and still six days to go in the month of June, Kolkata can hopefully achieve the target.
