Kolkata residents can expect another wet and cloudy day on May 30 as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast rain and thunderstorms across the city. The recent spell of showers has brought considerable relief from the hot and humid weather that had gripped the region over the past few weeks. Temperatures have dropped noticeably following widespread rainfall, making conditions more comfortable for residents.
Rainfall Brings Relief From Heat
Over the last few days, several parts of Kolkata and surrounding areas witnessed moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms. The showers helped bring down daytime temperatures and eased humidity levels, offering much-needed respite from the oppressive summer conditions. Residents welcomed the change in weather after enduring prolonged spells of heat and discomfort.
The rainfall has also improved air quality in many parts of the city, although some low-lying areas reported minor waterlogging following heavy downpours. Traffic movement remained largely normal, with only isolated disruptions reported during periods of intense rainfall.
