The aftermath of Cyclone Mocha is set to dramatically reshape weather conditions across Kolkata and West Bengal, with meteorological experts predicting a significant shift in wind patterns that will unleash persistent rainfall in the coming days.
Changing Weather Dynamics
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has confirmed that Cyclone Mocha's trajectory through the Bay of Bengal has triggered a crucial alteration in regional wind flow. This meteorological shift is expected to channel moisture-laden winds directly toward eastern India, resulting in increased cloud formation and precipitation.
What to Expect in Kolkata
Residents of Kolkata and surrounding districts should prepare for:
- Enhanced rainfall activity throughout the week
- Intermittent heavy showers accompanied by gusty winds
- Possible thunderstorms during peak afternoon hours
- Moderate to high humidity levels persisting
Regional Impact Beyond Kolkata
The weather transformation won't be limited to urban centers. Coastal districts of West Bengal, including North and South 24 Parganas, along with Howrah and Hooghly, are likely to experience similar intensified rainfall patterns. Agricultural communities should remain vigilant as the changing conditions could affect standing crops.
Expert Meteorological Analysis
Weather scientists emphasize that while Cyclone Mocha has dissipated, its residual effects continue to influence regional climate systems. The cyclone has effectively redirected moisture currents that typically characterize this period, creating unusual precipitation patterns for this time of year.
IMD officials have advised citizens to stay updated with weather bulletins and exercise caution during heavy downpours, particularly in low-lying areas prone to waterlogging.
