Instead of the usual dry air blowing in from the west, moisture-rich winds from the Bay of Bengal are making their way into the region, setting the stage for dramatic weather. Thunderstorms are expected to rattle both North and South Bengal on Sunday and Monday, with warnings of heavy rain, gusty winds, and even hailstorms in some districts. Kolkata Weather Weekly Forecast Kolkata is in for a wet and stormy spell over the coming days. On 27 April, the city is expected to see a partly cloudy sky with the possibility of moderate rain or a thunderstorm. The weather will turn wetter from 28 April onwards, with rain or thundershowers accompanied by strong gusty winds forecast for both 28 and 29 April.
The temperature is likely to hover between 24 degrees Celsius and 32-34 degrees Celsius during this period. From 30 April to 1 May, thunderstorms with rain are likely to continue, keeping the maximum temperature around 30 degrees Celsius. The trend of unsettled weather will persist into early May, with 2 and 3 May likely to bring generally cloudy skies along with the possibility of rain or thunderstorms. Minimum temperatures will remain steady around 24-25 degrees Celsius, offering little respite from the humidity despite the showers.
