Since last few days, the capital city of West Bengal, Kolkata has been recording a few spells of rains. In fact, the last 24 hours were no different and the state including Kolkata witnessed the same prevailing weather conditions.
In a span of last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Saturday, the City of Joy, Kolkata merely recorded 6 mm of rainfall. While the other districts of West Bengal have been witnessing good rainfall activities.
The reason for these rains can be attributed to an upper air cyclonic circulation which is seen persisting over North Bay of Bengal off Gangetic West Bengal Coast.
Due to this weather system, scattered light to moderate rain and thundershower activities are expected to continue over Kolkata and adjoining areas during the next 24 hours.
