Calcutta weather update: Heat and humidity up

The heat and humidity have been on the rise in the city since a wet spell ended last week.

The maximum temperature on Monday was 35.5 degrees, three notches above normal.

The heat and humidity might lead to the formation of clouds and trigger a spell or two of thunderstorms but the relief will be temporary.

“The temperature will be on the higher side in the coming days,” said a Met official.
