The weather in West Bengal has experienced significant fluctuations this week, with temperatures in South Bengal dropping slightly. According to the Alipore Meteorological Department, both day and night temperatures in South Bengal have registered a mild decline. This trend is expected to continue, with a further drop of two to three degrees in the coming days. However, a rise in temperature is anticipated by the end of the week, returning to more typical conditions.

In Kolkata, the minimum temperature was recorded at 22.7°C on Tuesday, while Monday’s maximum temperature reached 32.2°C. The humidity levels in the air are also on the rise, fluctuating between 32% and 89%. This variation in humidity is expected to create a feeling of slight stickiness in the atmosphere, though the skies will remain clear, and the weather is predicted to remain pleasant. The forecast indicates that the minimum temperature in Kolkata may reach 20°C, while the maximum could stay around 30°C.

South Bengal, including Kolkata, is not expected to experience any rainfall over the next few days. The weather will remain dry, with clear skies and mild temperatures. While the weather department has ruled out rain for this region, the scenario in North Bengal will be different. In the hilly areas of North Bengal, including Darjeeling and Kalimpong, light rainfall with possible thunderstorms is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday. The rainfall is forecasted to intensify later in the week, especially by Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

The districts of Alipurduar and Jalpaiguri, along with Darjeeling and Kalimpong, are likely to witness light to moderate rainfall throughout the week. Despite the rainfall in the northern regions, no significant temperature changes are expected. The weather is expected to remain relatively stable in these areas, with no major fluctuations in temperature despite the incoming rain. The current weather conditions are likely to persist for the next few days.
