Stormy Start To Week Expected For Kolkata Before Skies Clear By April

The weather department has issued alerts for intermittent rainfall and gusty winds across Kolkata and surrounding districts. Residents are advised to prepare for localized disruptions before conditions improve with the arrival of April.  

Weather Forecast  
Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to dominate the city’s weather pattern in the coming days. The rainfall is attributed to seasonal changes and moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal, which often trigger stormy conditions during late March.  

Impact On Daily Life  
The stormy weather may cause traffic delays, waterlogging in low-lying areas, and interruptions to outdoor activities. Authorities have urged caution, particularly for commuters and those living in flood-prone zones.  

Clear Skies Ahead  
By early April, the weather is forecast to stabilize, with clearer skies and rising temperatures. This transition will mark the onset of Kolkata’s pre-summer climate, characterized by warm afternoons and relatively dry conditions.  

Key Highlights  

• Stormy weather expected in Kolkata through March  
• Heavy showers and thunderstorms likely  
• Bay of Bengal winds driving rainfall activity  
• Possible traffic delays and waterlogging
