Wet start to monsoon helps Kol top last June rain count
1 2 Kolkata: Two more days are still left of June but the monsoon rainfall count in Kolkata has already exceeded the figure logged in last year's June. A wet beginning to the monsoon led to 187.8 mm rainfall in the city between June 1 and 27 this year, while the figure was 143.2 mm in the entire June last year. With a cyclonic circulation and a low-pressure area set to form on June 29, the count, which remained below normal in Kolkata, could exceed the normal mark, said the Met office. Consistent overnight rain and a grey sky greeted Kolkatans on Friday morning, and as the day proceeded, a cloud cover persisted with occasional spells of drizzle in most areas. The city received 42.7 mm of rain on Friday, as a result of which the maximum temperature dropped two degrees to 29.3°C.

"We expect spells of heavy rain in Kolkata and south Bengal that could take the rain count higher and closer to the normal mark. The city has a 24% deficit for June till now," said Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) weather scientist Sourish Bandopadhyay. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo But south Bengal has already received more than its normal share of June rain. It received 243.9 mm of rain between June 1 and 27, 13% more than the normal count. "There have been successive cyclonic circulations that caused intermittent but consistent rain ever since monsoon arrived in south Bengal and Kolkata on June 17. While the rain has been heavier around Kolkata, the city has received drizzles and moderate showers. But Kolkata's deficit is not much, a deficit of up to 19% being taken as normal. The impending low-pressure may wipe out the month's deficit," said Bandopadhyay. Heavy rainfall (7 cm -11 cm) has been predicted on June 30 in Kolkata, Howrah, North and South 24 Parganas, Purulia, East and West Burdwan. In 2024, the monsoon arrived even later in Kolkata and started on a dry note. It had led to a deficit of 49% in Kolkata in June and 67% in south Bengal.

Hello sunshine! Indoreans see clear sky after a week
Indore: Despite a yellow alert for heavy rainfall issued for Friday, Indore received only 0.6 mm of rain during the day, as the weather cleared up by the afternoon. After nearly a week of overcast skies and intermittent showers, the city experienced sunshine again, leading to a significant rise in the maximum temperature, which reached 30.5 degrees Celsius, three degrees below normal but still the highest in recent days. For the past week, daytime temperatures remained between 25 degrees Celsius and 28 degrees Celsius due to continuous cloud cover and rainfall. On Friday evening at 5:30 PM, the temperature stood at 27.8 degrees Celsius. Humidity was recorded at 81% in the evening hours on Friday, and winds blew from the southwest at a speed of 15 kmph. Morning humidity remained high at 98%. Indore received overnight rainfall on Thursday, summing the rainfall recorded in 24 hours to 68.5 mm. On Thursday, the city recorded 46.4 mm of rainfall till 8:30 PM, and 22.4 mm of rainfall was recorded overnight in Indore. In the last 24 hours till Friday morning, Dewas received a substantial 125 mm of rainfall. Meghnagar in Jhabua recorded 123 mm of rainfall, followed by 107 mm in Badnawar of Dhar, 106 mm in Mandsaur, and 98 mm in Hatpipaliya (Dewas). The rainfall brought down local temperatures and led to increased water levels in regional streams and rivers. Heavy rains continued to affect other parts of the Malwa and Nimar regions. In Khargone, the Sirvel waterfall on the Kunda river began flowing again after days of consistent rain. In Ratlam's Sailana area, the Kedarnath waterfall—usually active in July or August—was gushing with full force after two inches of rainfall in the last 24 hours, pushing the seasonal total to 304 mm. However, the rainfall also caused disruptions. In Mandsaur, a youth on a two-wheeler fell into an open chamber on Station Road during waterlogging caused by one and a half hours of downpour. In Jaora, roads turned into rivers after 76 mm of rain in just 30 minutes. Water overflowed from rooftops and flooded lower colonies in Mandsaur, prompting the municipal team to operate pump houses for hours. According to IMD scientist Dr Divya E Surendran, two active weather systems—a trough from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal and a cyclonic circulation over northeast Madhya Pradesh—are expected to keep the monsoon vigorous across the state for at least five more days.
