Carrying water and umbrella must in WB, Heatwave follows heavy rains in Kolkata

After a spell of continuous heavy rains that caused flooding in various parts of West Bengal, including the capital city Kolkata, the region is now experiencing an unexpected rise in temperatures. The Meteorological Department reported that on Tuesday, Kolkata recorded a maximum temperature of 33.6 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 28.5 degrees Celsius, which is three degrees higher than the usual temperatures for this time of year.

The heatwave has become a cause of discomfort for residents, as rain has ceased in several parts of the state, including Howrah, Hooghly, North and South 24 Parganas, East and West Medinipur, and Purulia.

No rain expected in the short term. The Meteorological Department has indicated that there is currently no forecast of rain for the next 24 to 48 hours, which could lead to further temperature increases. Meanwhile, in North Bengal, areas like Alipurduar, Cooch Behar, Jalpaiguri, Darjeeling, and Kalimpong faced flood-like conditions during the heavy rains. Relief and rescue efforts are now underway in these affected regions as the rain subsides.
