On Tuesday, the city received light to moderate rain during the day. Alipore recorded around 20mm and Dum Dum over 40mm.

A low-pressure area over the north Bay of Bengal was supposed to bring heavy rain to the city. “But the system passed over Bangladesh and central Gangetic Bengal, towards Jharkhand, not coming close enough to the city,” a Met official said.

The Calcutta sky is likely to remain cloudy in the first half of Wednesday. The showers on Tuesday brought the maximum temperature down by several notches. Some parts of the city received a fresh spell of rain at night.
