As the scorching heatwave continues to grip the region, residents of Kolkata and Howrah can finally anticipate some relief in the coming days. According to meteorological forecasts, the two cities in West Bengal are likely to experience a temporary respite from the relentless heatwave.
Recent weather reports suggest that over the next two days, both Kolkata and Howrah may witness cloudy skies, which could lead to a slight drop in temperatures. While there is a possibility of rain, it is not expected to be significant. However, residents of these areas are advised to remain cautious, as discomfort from the heat is still anticipated.
Meanwhile, other districts in South Bengal are expected to endure the heatwave throughout the week. Additionally, starting Wednesday, three districts in North Bengal are also expected to experience the heatwave conditions. Malda, North Dinajpur, and South Dinajpur are likely to face uncomfortable weather due to the rising temperatures.
Meteorological authorities have indicated that there might be a slight decrease in temperatures in South Bengal starting Tuesday. However, there will be no significant changes in the overall heatwave conditions. Therefore, areas outside Kolkata and Howrah are advised to brace themselves for continued hot weather.
Moreover, there is a possibility of light rain in Purba Medinipur, Paschim Medinipur, and Jhargram on Monday and Tuesday. Despite this, the heatwave is not expected to subside significantly in these regions.
It is noteworthy that Kolkata witnessed its highest temperature of 40.3 degrees Celsius on Sunday, surpassing the normal by four degrees. Similarly, Bankura recorded the highest temperature of 44.5 degrees Celsius, exceeding the average by six degrees. Other areas, like Panagarh and Barrackpore, also experienced temperatures above 43 degrees Celsius.
While relief from the intense heatwave is anticipated in Kolkata and Howrah, other parts of West Bengal continue to face extreme weather conditions. Authorities urge residents to stay hydrated and take necessary precautions to mitigate the effects of the ongoing heatwave.
The meteorological department also notes that this prolonged heatwave in April is unprecedented in the last 50 years. While temperatures have soared to 41 degrees Celsius in Kolkata, the severity and duration of this heatwave are unusual. However, there is no immediate indication of prolonged relief, with substantial rainfall expected in the near future.
While Kolkata and Howrah may experience a brief respite from the heatwave, other regions in West Bengal are likely to continue facing hot and uncomfortable weather conditions. Residents are advised to stay updated on weather forecasts and take the necessary measures to stay safe during this period of intense heat.
