Kolkata has been doing fairly well in terms of Monsoon rain since July, unlike other parts of the country. And keeping up the trend, the city observed some heavy rain on Sunday. However, the spell of rain was patchy in nature. In a span of 24 hours, from 8.30 am on Sunday the Alipore Observatory recorded 123 mm of rain, while the Dum Dum Observatory observed only 23 mm of rain.
According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the well-marked low in the north Bay of Bengal and adjoining Odisha, vital for giving the present spell of rain in Kolkata will shift towards Central India in the next 48 hours due to which rain will decrease in the city.
However, there is not going to be a lull in the city as all the weather systems like cyclonic circulations, well-marked lows and depressions form in the north Bay of Bengal and adjoining Odisha, which is close to the city. The strategic location of Kolkata helps the city in receiving frequent rain throughout the Monsoon season.
On an average, Kolkata receives 400 mm of rain in the month of July but the city has observed only 300 mm during the month. August has started off on a good note with Alipore receiving 123 mm of rain but this spell cannot be taken as a trend for the month. The average monthly rainfall for August is 352 mm.
The Sub Himalayan west Bengal sub-division is already facing a deficit of 17% from the period 1st June to 3rd August.
