Monsoon update: The monsoon has arrived in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. When will the relieving monsoon arrive in Kolkata? The Alipore Meteorological Office has predicted rain throughout the week

Kolkata and several districts of South Bengal have experienced humid weather for the past few days. However, the weather has changed somewhat since Sunday. The Alipore Meteorological Office predicts thunderstorms throughout the week. There is a possibility of thunderstorms in both North and South Bengal. The Alipore Meteorological Office stated that a low-pressure axis extends from Punjab to northern Bangladesh. It has passed over Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Gangetic West Bengal, bringing abundant moisture into the state. Due to this axis, thunderstorms will continue in almost all districts of the state until next Thursday. Some areas may experience Kalbaishakhi conditions. But the discomfort will not decrease. According to the Alipore Meteorological Office forecast, uncomfortable heat will persist from morning till afternoon. There will be no significant change in temperature for the next five days. Relief has been found from the continuous humid weather of the past few days. Continuous thunderstorms are occurring. This raises hopes of an early monsoon for the people of Bengal. The arrival of the monsoon in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands further strengthens this hope. The Meteorological Department has announced that the monsoon has arrived in the Andaman Islands five days ahead of schedule. Therefore, there is a possibility of an early monsoon in the Indian mainland. According to the Meteorological Department's forecast, if all goes well, the monsoon may arrive in the Indian mainland in the first week of June. The monsoon first arrives in Kerala in the Indian mainland. Then it spreads throughout the country. This time too, the monsoon is gradually approaching. The monsoon typically arrives in Kolkata towards the end of the second week of June. This year, there is a possibility of it arriving a bit earlier. However, the exact date of the monsoon's arrival in Kolkata depends on when it enters Kerala. Today's maximum temperature in Kolkata was 35 degrees Celsius, slightly below normal. The minimum temperature was 26.4. According to the Alipore Meteorological Office website, there is a forecast for thunderstorms in Kolkata and the Gangetic plains from Monday through the beginning of next week.
