Cyclone Roanu before making landfall over Bangladesh resulted in good showers over the city of joy. So much so that the city recorded 56 mm of rain in just three days. However, rains gave Kolkata a miss on May 22 leaving the city dry for some time.

Now, the cyclonic circulation which was lying over Jharkhand and adjoining Odisha has currently shifted over GangeticWest Bengal. Due to this circulation, sufficient moisture incursion from the Bay of Bengal is taking place over Gangetic West Bengal.

The combined effect of these weather systems may result in scattered light rain and thundershower activity over Kolkata today. These rains are expected to occur during late afternoon or evening hours. However, these showers will not be very intense in nature.
