KOLKATA: Kolkata received spells of light rain on Sunday even as the Met office predicted that the impact of the two cyclonic circulations in the region – that have triggering showers since Saturday – will wane by Monday afternoon. But spells of light to moderate rain may continue, it added.
Early on Sunday, the two systems – one over Bay of Bengal and the other over south Bangladesh – merged into one over northwest Bay of Bengal.
“We had expected an intense spell in and around Kolkata on Sunday which did not happen. The possibility remains and there is a possibility of a heavy spell early on Monday. But the weather should improve from Monday afternoon, though sporadic showers may continue,” said Regional Meteorological Centre director GK Das.
