Kolkata Latest Weather Update: Chilly Mornings, Warmer Afternoons — Heat to Rise Across West Bengal

Mornings remain slightly chilly in Kolkata, but the coolness fades as the sun rises and afternoon temperatures steadily climb. When will the real summer heat arrive, and is rain expected in West Bengal? Explore our photo gallery forecast.

Today's Weather Update

South Bengal is still in the grip of winter. The mornings are seeing dense fog and strong northerly winds. This Friday morning has been quite chilly. However, the weather department has hinted that temperatures might rise soon. But the Alipore Met office has made it clear that winter isn't going away just yet.

Kolkata's Weather Update

According to the Alipore Met office, Kolkata's minimum temperature today is -12.1 degrees Celsius, which is 1.8 degrees below normal. The maximum temperature is -21.9 degrees Celsius, 2.8 degrees below the normal mark.

How will South Bengal's weather be?

Winter is in full swing across South Bengal, including Kolkata. Besides the city, districts like North and South 24 Parganas, Bankura, Purulia, Bardhaman, Birbhum, and Nadia have also seen a significant drop in temperature.

Rain forecast again due to deep depression

The weather department indicates this situation will last a few more days. A low-pressure system has formed over the South Bay of Bengal, which has now intensified into a deep depression. It is expected to move slowly towards the west and north-west.

Winter chill will increase further

This low-pressure system won't have a direct impact on West Bengal. As a result, the strong northerly winds will continue in the state, meaning we can enjoy the winter chill for a little longer.

North Bengal's Weather Update

The cold wave continues across North Bengal, including Darjeeling. The temperature in Darjeeling is dropping below 5 degrees Celsius every day, which is great news for tourists who are enjoying the chilly weather.

Winter chill will return

The weather office has said that no major changes are expected in the weather until Saturday. The winter conditions will remain the same in both North and South Bengal. However, from Sunday onwards, the temperature might start to rise slightly, but the winter chill won't go away completely.
