The sharp depletion of attenuation of 183.31GHz signal just before the onset of Nor'wester overKolkata has been studied. Possible explanations of such type of variation are presented. It is concluded that this may betaken as one possible method of forecasting of severe thunderstorms associated with Nor'wester. Physical explanationsbased on the formation and dissipation mechanisms of thunderstorms are also presented.
