Kolkata Enthusiasts Pursue Cyclones, Thunderstorms, and Lightning Across Bengal

For over ten years, members of a group known as the Kolkata Cloud Chasers have dedicated their weekends to tracking and documenting severe weather phenomena, including cyclones and thunderstorms, across West Bengal. Utilizing advanced weather models, radar imagery, and photography equipment, these enthusiasts aim to capture dramatic weather events and gather valuable meteorological data.

The Kolkata Cloud Chasers are not only interested in photographing these fierce storms but also in understanding the complexities of such atmospheric occurrences. This pursuit offers them a unique thrill and satisfaction that they describe as irreplaceable.

West Bengal, with its varied climate, often experiences extreme weather conditions, particularly during the monsoon season and cyclonic events. The group has contributed to raising awareness about the importance of weather forecasting and the impact of climate change on local weather patterns. As they engage in their hobby, the Kolkata Cloud Chasers also foster a sense of community among like-minded individuals who share a passion for meteorology and photography.
