Kolkata Forecasts Warm, Humid Week with Isolated Evening ThundershowersPreviousNext

Kolkata is expected to experience a warm and humid first week of June, with maximum temperatures around 35-36°C and minimums near 28-29°C. The India Meteorological Department forecasts partly cloudy skies and isolated afternoon or evening thundershowers on most days, which may bring brief relief from the heat. While widespread rainfall is unlikely, intermittent showers accompanied by lightning and gusty winds are possible. Humidity levels remain high, contributing to sticky conditions, but no weather warnings have been issued.
