Enhanced rainfall alert
A tormenting spell of heat and humidity was finally broken by a round of thundershowers in the city on Thursday evening.
Gusts of wind and streaks of lightning preceded the showers, which started a little after 7pm.
Met officials attributed the train to thunderclouds that formed over the Bangladesh coast.
“There was enough heating and humidity. A spell was due in Kolkata.... Clouds over the Sunderbans travelled to Kolkata in the evening,” said G.K. Das, director, IMD, Kolkata.
The sun is set to come out strongly again on Friday, but another wet spell is headed Kolkata’s way.
A low-pressure area on the Bay has prompted the Met office to issue an “enhanced rainfall” alert for the districts of south Bengal, including Kolkata, from September 10 to 13.
The weather in Kolkata is likely to change from the second half of Saturday, said Das.
