Kolkata: Cyclone circulation is set to trigger heavy rain in Kolkata and the South Bengal District side by side on Tuesday.
While the city is set to accept long spells, including intense, eastern and west west and south and North 24 pargana, can also receive rain.
Rain can continue until Wednesday but can change the light to be moderate when the circulation loses strength and moves towards Bankura, Birbhum and Purulia.
Formed above the northeast and Teluk Middle East Bengal, circulation can attack South Bengal on Tuesday, said the regional meteorological center (RMC).
After reaching South Bengal, light rain until it was starting soon.
“There is a possibility that the system reaches the bengal gangetic after Monday midnight or very early on Tuesday, triggering a spell that is unrelenting that might change heavily later,” said Director of RMC GK Das.
Circulation, however, may not increase to depression, although the possibility is still not ruled out.
While Kolkata, Howrah, Hoogly, 24 parganas and jharrams can receive heavy rain (70mm-110 mm) on Tuesday, one or two places in Midnapore east and west and South Pargana can receive a very heavy bathroom (70mm-200mm).
Although the chances of heavy rain are higher on Tuesday, intense spells can be suspended until Wednesday if the system moves slowly, said the weather.
Meanwhile, Gulab Typhoon lost intensity and weakened to depth depression on Monday.
However, it has no impact on Kolkata.
The city remains dry and bright for a better part of Monday morning.
