Following a squall that provided temporary relief, Kolkata's maximum temperature surged to 35°C on Sunday, marking an increase of 8°C from the previous days. The Regional Meteorological Centre forecasts a challenging week ahead, with temperatures possibly reaching 36°C in Kolkata and 37°C in Howrah. The warm and humid conditions, characterized by a minimum temperature of 25.2°C and maximum humidity at 95%, are expected to persist. The weather pattern indicates a stable high-pressure system over the region, which will suppress cloud formation and maximize solar radiation, leading to consistently high temperatures between 34°C and 36°C. The real-feel temperature recorded was 43.8°C, indicating extreme discomfort. Although some rain is anticipated between June 3 and 4, it is unlikely to provide significant relief from the heat, with no respite expected until at least June 6.
