The last 24 hours were no different and moderate spells of rainfall occurred over the capital city of West Bengal. In a span of 24 hours from 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, Kolkata recorded a good 13 mm of rain.
These weather conditions over Kolkata can be attributed to the cyclonic circulation which currently lies over North West Bay of Bengal. Along with this, a trough is also extending from Punjab up to North East Bay of Bengal across Gangetic West Bengal.
