KOLKATA: The daytime intermittent drizzles gave way to nighttime showers and gusty winds in different parts of the city on Saturday. The rain is likely to continue till Sunday night. The Met office said that the weather remained highly favourable for at least one or two thunderstorms till Tuesday.
On Saturday night, the Met office said that the chance of a thunderstorm would be between 60% and 70% on Sunday.
Successive spells of thunderstorms are likely to bring maximum temperature down to around 24 degrees by Tuesday, after which the temperature may start to rise again, said Met office.
Regional Meteorological Centre director G K Das said the ongoing cloud formation and drizzles can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation between Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. The development of troughs stretching from Rajasthan has also contributed to an the probability of an imminent thunderstorm. With predictions on Saturday of incoming thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds of 30 to 40 kmph, Das said that the conditions were also favourable for up to two nor’westers until March 20. The Met office has also advised people to take shelter in a safe place during thunderstorms.
