In comparison with the moderate to heavy rain that has occurred in the city a couple of days back, the rain intensity has reduced drastically. On July 27, the city of joy recorded 22 mm of rains which were 0.3 mm in the last 24 hours.
Apart from Kolkata, the other districts of West Bengal that have recorded light rains during the similar time frame include Bagati that witnessed 24 mm of rains, and Diamond Harbour 11 mm. While Bankura and Shanti Niketan witnessed very light traces of rains to the tune of 1 mm and 0.6 mm respectively.
Skymet Weather further reiterates that as no other significant weather system is persisting over the region, thus heavy to very heavy rains are ruled out. But on and off light rains with one or two moderate spells are possible. These rains will keep the temperature of Kolkata under control and weather will be comfortable for the next 2-4 days.
