Kolkata weather has been playing games for quite some time now. While there are days when rainy spells continue to lash the City of Joy, there are other days when the city remains dry with warm weather conditions taking over.
However, since the arrival of Monsoon, light rainfall activity has been taking place over the City of Joy. Southwest Monsoon made an onset over Kolkata on July 12, the very same day when Monsoon marked its arrival over the cities of Mumbai as well as Hyderabad.
