KOLKATA: Barely two days after it hit Kolkata, monsoon has taken a hiatus paving the best way for a upward push in temperature. Monsoon currents have stalled around the country and the probabilities of rain are low in Kolkata and the remainder of south Bengal for at least every week, the Met place of job predicted on Wednesday.
Westerly winds have began flowing in, pushing the mercury up. On Wednesday — a day after town was once lashed via a torrential downpour — the utmost temperature reached 36.5°C and the utmost relative humidity touched 95%. In fact, the utmost temperature was once upper than the absolute best recorded in May — thought to be to be the peak summer month.
“We expect the temperature to be round 36°C this week. Monsoon currents have misplaced steam and there may be little probability of the currents advancing over the next seven days. Since rains have dried up, the temperature is sure to upward push,” mentioned Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) director G Okay Das. He, however, added that the stalling of monsoon currents was once moderately commonplace at the onset of monsoon. “Kolkata hardly ever receives heavy rain in June. July-August is the peak monsoon length in south Bengal. So, there may be enough time for rains,” added Das.
Even although monsoon arrived in south Bengal on June 11, some portions of the region are but to be coated. It normally takes about 10 days from the onset of monsoon for the currents to hide complete south Bengal, mentioned weathermen. The complete state might be coated via monsoon currents via June 20, predicted RMC.
Weather scientists mentioned it was once tough to explain the stalling of monsoon currents. But finding out elements just like the Madden-Julian Oscillation — an eastward go with the flow of cloud and rainfall in tropical areas that recur each and every 30-60 days — could assist to find out the conceivable time of a monsoon revival. “We also are finding out other elements like the opportunity of a lowpressure device over the Bay of Bengal. At provide, there may be none,” a source mentioned.
