As per Skymet Weather, a cyclonic circulation is seen over South Bihar and a trough is extending from Uttar Pradesh to Odisha across Jharkhand. As this system persist far from the ‘city of joy’, hence, not much significant weather is anticipated over the capital of West Bengal.
However, the possibility of isolated light rains cannot be ruled out. At present also, the weather condition over Kolkata is cloudy and rains have started showing up in parts of the city. Though these rains are foreseen for a short duration confined to smaller areas.
