Even after 10 days into the Bengali month of Poush, winter remains elusive. While Christmas celebrations brought festive warmth across the state, the true essence of winter is missing. In Kolkata, the minimum temperature stays between 17–18°C, failing to provide a wintry feel
South Bengal experiences partly to fully cloudy skies, with light rain expected in three coastal districts. Early mornings bring light fog, while the days see a mix of cloudy and clear skies. Moderate fog is likely in districts like East and West Burdwan, Birbhum, and Murshidabad
Dense fog is predicted for five districts in North Bengal—Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Cooch Behar, North Dinajpur, and Malda. Light fog may cover other districts in the region as well. Humidity levels have risen, with relative humidity ranging between a maximum of 93% and a minimum of 58%
Successive western disturbances have interrupted the flow of cold northern winds. With jet stream winds and cyclonic circulation influencing the weather, South Bengal may witness cloudy skies. A new western disturbance is expected to enter on Friday, slightly lowering the temperature to 14–15°C, but no significant drop is likely. The remaining days of this year are unlikely to bring a severe winter chill to Bengal. The subdued cold weather, influenced by changing atmospheric conditions, has been disappointing for winter enthusiasts.
