After days of blistering heat, the forthcoming weekend is likely to bring some respite to the citizens of Kolkata. The Regional Meteorological Centre has predicted drizzles between 22-23 April and a gradual fall of temperature by two to three degrees Celsius from 22 April.
According to the RMC, after the extreme heat, there is a slight probability of the city getting drizzles during the period. Apart from Kolkata, districts of South 24-Parganas, North 24-Parganas, Nadia and few more are also predicted to get some rains during the three days. However, before the respite, the city along with various parts of the state has to bear the blistering heat that could take the mercury even further up by a few notches.
