India Meteorological Department (IMD) sees partly cloudy conditions with 50 per cent chance for rain/thunderstorm for Kolkata, venue for tonight’s IPL cricket game.
Home team Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Chennai Super Kings at Eden Gardens in the match scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.
The skies were hazy in the morning with southwesterly winds prevailing over the eastern city.
The winds are expected to turn southerly to southwesterly, in which case it would up moisture from the North Bay of Bengal – up to 80 per cent.
The main threat to the weather is a western disturbance on the way out and passing over east India as it readies to leave the country.
There is also a cyclonic circulation in the neighbourhood over Assam, seeking to pad it up more.
But a diametrically opposite forecast is available from peer models, which give an all-clear to the match that starts late in the night only.
