KOLKATA: The town persevered to reel underneath sizzling warmth for the second consecutive day with the utmost temperature reaching 39.7°C on Saturday. It was once the second freshest day of the year. Kolkata had recorded 40°C on Friday.
With warm westerly winds blowing in from north India and no sign of the revival of monsoon current yet, Kolkata had a gruelling begin to the weekend. It could stay simply as warm and uncomfortable on Sunday, predicted the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC).

But some respite may well be not far away, mentioned weatherman. The westerly winds are slowing down and that would deliver the mercury down via some extent on Monday. The monsoon currents, then again, stay stalled and there is yet no sign of the rains staging a comeback.
“Unless the monsoon currents get started moving, Kolkata and south Bengal will proceed to be singed via this monsoon warmth. It hardly occurs that the temperature reaches the 40°C mark after the onset of monsoon. But this year, monsoon has come to a halt instantly after hitting south Bengal. The remainder of east India, including Bihar and Jharkhand, are yet to receive monsoon,” mentioned RMC director GK Das.
Westerly winds making the town warm
Even despite the fact that humidity has been slightly low, it has been occasionally shooting up. But it's the dry westerly winds that have left the town scorched. “It seems we will be able to have to wait till no less than the center of next week for rain. Not most effective are the monsoon currents no longer moving, there is no sign of any rain-triggering gadget both,” mentioned Das.
