KOLKATA: The city remained overcast even as parts of Kolkata received a light drizzle on Saturday morning.
A low pressure trough that had formed across Tamil Nadu and Odisha moved up north into Gangetic Bengal that triggered the clouds and is set to lead to more rain on Sunday and Monday, the Met office said. While it will continue to remain cloudy till Tuesday, the minimum temperature slid up to 23.3 degree Celsius on Saturday and maximum dropped to 27.3 degree Celsius.
The rain could be light to moderate over the next two days, according to the Regional Meteorological Centre. “The low-pressure trough moved into Bengal as expected and has resulted in clouds and rain. Rain will continue and could get moderate either on Sunday or Monday,” said RMC director GK Das.
While the cloud cover is set to persist till Tuesday, the lowpressure trough will start weakening from Tuesday. “It will lose steam and should fizzle out,” added Das. The cloud cover has pushed the minimum temperature well above 20 degrees while it has pulled the maximum down.
