17mm rain in Kol; Met spies more showers till weekend
Intermittent showers left several parts of Kolkata drenched on Wednesday even as local clouds, generated by moisture from the Bay of Bengal, led to thunderstorms in the city and its neighbouring districts. While the cyclonic circulation has now weakened into a low-pressure system, which triggered a deluge in Kolkata on Monday, and moved away towards Jharkhand, it continued to attract moisture that led to thunderstorms, said the Met officials. Showers will continue in Kolkata till the weekend when another cyclonic circulation that has developed over Bay of Bengal near Myanmar is set to strike the region.
