Currently, a depression which was in proximity of West Bengal has moved towards the Bangladesh region. Thus, rainfall activity will not be as intense due to reduction in moisture incursion.
However, light rainfall activity is expected to continue over the City of Joy. Also, rainfall intensity is expected to increase over Kolkata during the next few days around June 17 and 18.
